We have raised a third of the funds needed for Phase 1 of the balcony build. The Great London Row current total is £51,237 and with the generously matched funds - this brings us to £101,237 of the £300k needed for Phase 1 of the balcony build and associated costs. Many thanks to all who donated and who participated. Special thanks to the eight particularly generous individuals who cumulatively donated £31k of the total £51,237 raised.
Congratulations to Andrew Boyle - the model GLR participant who has won the prize for the highest sponsorship funds. Andrew secured sponsorship from over 20 people, generating over £3k and rented two ringers for the courses his crew completed on the Saturday from Windsor to Kingston and the Sunday from Kingston to LRC. Andrew’s prize will be presented at the Annual Dinner. Some photos below from across the two days.

Next time you are in the bar, you will see a card terminal which you may tap to donate £2, £5 or £10 to the balcony fund. This machine will allow us all to donate a bit here and there, which will add up.
Later this month you will be receiving our direct appeal, you will learn more about the history of our balcony and further detail on the two phases of works.
Thank you for supporting the various initiatives to raise the funds required to replace our balcony which is coming down in December.
