the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|Club activities and membership are
increasing – but not yet as quickly as we
would wish. Nevertheless, there have
been improvements in all aspects!| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those

benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|There has been a successful season of
rowing on the R. Blyth though access has
been severely restricted due to
construction work for the new Blyth energy
central learning hub. We lost use of the
boat store for the same reason. Skiff
Bebside is in store in a harbour warehouse
without regular access and is in need of
repair.
Skiff Crofton is stored outdoors in the Blyth
Tall Ship compound and we are grateful for
their support at this difficult time.
Members rowed our Skiff Crofton on the
annual Tweed Row.
A recruiting campaign is proposed for early
2025.| |Statement confirming
