Burnham Sailing Club
members 'stick their oar in' for charity!
 Hundreds
of pounds was raised for BBC Sport Relief during a sponsored rowing
event held in Burnham-On-Sea on Sunday afternoon (March 16th).
Members
of Burnham Sailing Club took to the waters of Bridgwater Bay in
a small flotilla of 'tenders' - the little dinghies used to row
out to boats - for a mile-long row from the Club's pontoons to
the jetty.
 "It
was a tough event with a strong incoming tide and blustery headwinds
but everyone finished and had a lot of fun," Vice Commodore
Ken Sowden told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
Those
taking part included John Clist, Ed Clist, Andy Walker, Steve
Short, Dave Wrennal and Ken.
Money
raised from the event will go towards the James Cracknell event
fund. The event was marshalled by the lifeboats crews from Burnham-On-Sea
RNLI who kept a close eye on the rowers throughout the event.
