As some of you will already know from my previous thread 'What would you do? Dilemma', I have been asked to join the Novice Ladies Team for my rowing clubs' entry into the World Pilot Gig Championships in the Isles of Scilly, 2 - 4th May this year.
I originally turned it down due to lack of funds, but was asked a second time, so enquired of you good Grapes what you would do - or really, what you thought I should do, which was a resounding Go For It!...... So I am!!!
In order to do this I need to raise the funds necessary for me to go, which comes to £300, and some of you have very kindly offered to contribute towards this (this post, btw, is in no way a plea for help - I am slightly embarrassed by this aspect of it, your support is enough, which you have already freely given). As you have all been so supportive and wonderful (oh no, I hear you say, here she goes again - obviously a thwarted Oscar winner
), I thought it was only fair to keep you up to date with how it is all going, so for those of you who are interested, I'll stick it all in this thread. I'll add more when I have time (sun's shining, and I must get out in it or I may go mad before I even get to the Scillies! The veg plot is calling...), but I thought I'd let you know that I have decided to Go for it, thanks to you good folk. Of course, I will no doubt regret this when being pushed to my physical limit to get fit enough to race, but ho hum
