Rowing legend and four times Olympic Gold Medalist Sir Matthew Pincent visited the club on 24th June at the start of the Sport Comes to Town Festival. Matthew was a last minute stand in for Sir Steve Redgrave, who unfortunately had a cycling accident in America and couldn't make it. Whilst at the club Matthew chatted with members, posed for photographs and officially named our two new boats. The brave man even handed his Olympic Gold Medals around for everyone to see. The club is very appreciative of Matthew's visit and special thanks go Dr. Nigel Dobson of the Sports Institute NI for arranging this.
More pictures of the days event can be seen on the photos page.
