Civic Head Presents Ashington Groups Funding Awards
The Civic Head, Cllr Victor Bridges was again delighted to be presenting cheques from Ashington Town Council's Annual Grant Fund and Small Grant Fund, on Thursday 3rd August 2023.
The first cheque to be presented went to Cambois Rowing Club. The Club had applied for funding for a new boat and blades to enable them to continue to expand the offering to the current members and also to attract new members from the local community.
The Club is committed to encouraging participation in the sport of rowing in Northumberland and have members from the age of 12 years to members in their 70's. The Club helps members develop self confidence and a healthy lifestyle, and take part in physical activity in a considerate, encouraging and friendly environment.
Members from the club compete locally, nationally and internationally, they are a small club with a big heart and have a number of masters world champions as well as former members who have gone on to represent Great Britain. Competition is important for those who want to but it’s the taking part in whatever capacity that really matters for the club.
