200 2020 Rejoin letter

We have now reached 200 members, which is fantastic news. This means we will be able to raise more funds for the RNLI and also pay out the maximum benefit to our members – a win win situation that we have been striving for since 2012!

Thanks again to one and all for your support. If you have missed out on becoming a member, that’s a shame, but keep looking on our Facebook page to see if any numbers become available.

Maldon Little Ship Sponsored Row December 2019

 

Rule Britannia, Britannia Waives the Rules….

We had a fantastic day on Saturday 28th December at the annual sponsored row for the RNLI organised by John Rodgers of the Maldon Little Ship Club (mlsc.org.uk).

It wasn’t too cold and very calm water. It was great to see the event so well attended and supported. This year the BBC sent a camera man and reporter and there was a very brief mention on Look East. As usual, we made a loud and colourful entrance! This year’s theme was Britannia and her take on BREXIT!!!

We are extremely proud to have retained the Panther Trophy for the most money raised by a single boat, virtually all thanks to the supporters of the 200 Club we run, raising funds for the Maldon branch of the RNLI. This year we raised over £4,500.

We were the first multiple ladies rowing boat home and third in the fancy dress.

Thank you everyone, again and a Happy New Year to you from Annette, Brenda, Chrys, Jill and Marion

Cheque Presentation and February Draws

We’re delighted to announce that we will be presenting our 200 Club cheque from the funds raised, including some very generous donations, last year at the annual RNLI Sherry Morning on Sunday 24th February. The amount of the cheque is a fantastic £5,020.00!!!

Prior to this, we will be holding the February draws with an estimated weekly prize of £45.50.

We wish to thank all our members for their valued and continued support.

Maldon Little Ship Club Sponsored Row and Gig Race 2019

31887692641_62f5f231b5_oOn Saturday 5th January, we will be taking part in the MLSC annual sponsored row in aid of the RNLI.

We’d love to see lots of you there to cheer us and everyone else along.

The race starts at about 11.00 hours, depending on the tide and will last for about 45 minutes.

Free entry and a great spectacle with lots of rowers, canoeists and paddle-boarders in fancy dress taking part on the river at Maldon Hythe Quay, near the Queens Head and of course the Maldon Little Ship Club.
