This post is about the forthcoming Founders' Day BBQ Row and Boat Launching Ceremony. A letter will go out to boys this week.
Boys, OLs, friends of LRGSBC and their families are all invited to the Founders' Day (weekend) celebrations. The Boat Club are reviving the much loved 'BBQ Row' which is taking place on Sunday 7th July at Halton Training Camp. Founders' Day celebrations are taking place over the whole weekend and more information about organised events can be obtained from the School Development Office.

Halton Training Camp, Halton Road, Lancaster, LA2 6LW
**** New instructions ****
Enter through Gate Number 2. This is a padlocked farm gate about 50 yards towards Halton from the Main Gate and Guard House. We will try and have somone stationed at the gate to let you in. Failing this, I will leave my mobile number on it. Give me a call and I will come up or send someone to let you in. Park in either of the two large car parks on the left as you drive down the hill. Please avoid driving down to the main training area beside the river as there will be other users undertaking training at the same time.
Timings - these timings are approximate.
09:30 Boys wanting to row arrive and prepare sculling boats and prepare for the first event.
All races will take place from the Motorway Bridge to the tower at the Army Camp (downstream, approx. 550m).
