Row row row your boat...

The Students' Union Boat Club are well on their way for the 100,000,000 metre row challenge to raise money for Children in Need. They started at 2pm today (Wed 18th) and they will be rowing for 3 days and 3 nights.

They have 2 rowing machines for use in the challenge to allow them to change location and ensure there is at least one person rowing at all times.

Tomorrow they are moving into Dylan's around 11am. They will some point also be around Asda and Lansdowne and then they will take the final leg in The Old Fire Station on Friday night.

The whole club will be involved from freshers to coaches.

The Boat Club is one of the oldest clubs in the Students' Union, setting up in 1993 and still going strong, being one of the most successful sports at BU. They have had great successes over the year and are also well known for their naked calendar!

There's also big news for James Lee. He has asked to act as Team Manager for Great Britain at the World University Rowing Championships in Szeged, Hungary on 13-15th August and in Amsterdam from 19-22nd August 2010, following his involvement with the Boat Club and his work placement at British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) last year.
