The “Scottish Coastal Rowing Project – Queensferry” are on the move with their build. On Wednesday, they moved in to their palatial workshop, and on Friday took delivery of their first kit.
The “workshop” is actually a retail unit next door to the local Co-op. The windows have been filled with information and pictures of the skiffs at other locations, and collecting buckets placed outside (when there is someone in the building!). I had quite a long chat with the team after we had unloaded the kit, and every few minutes there was a “thunk” as some more coins hit the bucket.
They have loads of enthusiasm,and their public visibility will assuredly get the local community involved in a big way.
The race is on – with North Queensferry – who have already said that this is the only skiff race between the two towns that they will be behind!
