Carrick on Shannon Rowing Club AGM Notice

🚨 PUBLIC APPEAL FOR INFORMATION 🚨

We are devastated to report a serious act of vandalism that took place overnight at Carrick Rowing Club causing thousands of euro worth of damage.

Sometime last night, our Club Octuple was removed from its racking and dragged across the ground toward the river and left hanging over the quay wall. This deliberate action has caused substantial damage to the entire underside of the boat, along with severe damage to the bow section.

Equipment like this represents countless hours of hard work, fundraising, and community support, making this damage a massive blow to our rowing club and athletes as it is now un-usable in view of the structural damage. This is all the more heartbreaking taking place just two weeks after our annual regatta in the town.

If you were in the area overnight and noticed any suspicious activity, saw anyone in the club grounds, or have any information please contact Carrick-on-Shannon Garda Station who are currently investigating the incident: 071 965 0510

Please share this post to help us spread the word and find those responsible. Thank you for your continued support.
