Ergathon:
This weekend, was the WHSBC Ergathon! It is one of our most highly anticipated fundraising events that brings our rowing community together. This year, we decided to row to Nottingham, as it’s the location for the National Schools Regatta, which will be held in May 2025.
A total of 185 girls and parents came together to row a combined distance of 240 kilometres, a truly impressive distance. There were some huge efforts from our girls and from the parents on the rowing machines, all pushing themselves to finish first! Thanks to the dedication and enthusiasm of all participants, we completed the challenge in just two and a half hours, with the effort split across six teams. Everyone showed incredible teamwork and community spirit.
Not only was the Ergathon a fun event, but it also served as a fundraiser. All the proceeds raised from the event will go toward supporting the boat club, this season’s goal of a new eight boat for our programme. In addition, the event also works with and supports Love Rowing, which does great work in promoting diversity and inclusion within the rowing.
Thank you to everyone one who came and made the event such a special day!
Trials:
A first for Wimbledon, three of our seniors headed up to Boston this past weekend to compete in the GB junior trials! Great racing from all our girls for the first early ID trials. Go Wimbledon!!
