COVID-19 may be with us for a while longer, but club business goes on. Some members of our steering group recently met in the now-clichéd ‘Zoom’ format; topics included everything from the first tentative steps in the direction of remobilising our build to the Row Around Scotland event in which Black Rocks will be participating later this month.
Originally conceived as an on-water baton relay around Scotland in celebration of 10 years of Scottish Coastal Rowing, the event has had to reformat as a virtual row … a ‘dry run’, if you will.
Kinghorn Coastal Rowing Club will be handing the baton to us on Wednesday 19th August, and we’ll have until Thursday evening to walk it to Donibristle Bay for the handover to North Queensferry Coastal Rowing Club.
We will need to coordinate carefully, as we’ll need to observe all the relevant advice from the Scottish Government as regards social distancing and the permissible sizes of gatherings. Details will be circulated to members shortly; anyone else who would like to get involved is welcome to get in touch.
