Peter Thomson, the current President of Henley Rotary Club, will be raising money for our charity funds by rowing from Benson to Henley, a distance of 26 miles, on August --3. He will be sharing this marathon row with his daughter and granddaughter.
With three generations in the boat, this will be happening on Sunday August 16th, leaving Benson at 8.30 in the morning and arriving in Henley around 5.30pm.
Donations can be made for this "Three Gen in a Boat" event through Just Giving (https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/3genrow) . To support the crew on their way, here is the planned timetable for the day. The actual time will vary a bit, depending on the queues at locks.
