Canโt wait to hear all about it ๐ฅ๐ฅโฅ๏ธ๐
Not long now before the ABOL team heads to France for the IBCPC regatta in August. Team members have worked extremely hard to raise funds for this trip to enable everyone to attend, regardless of socio-economic background. About $4000 is still required to cover the accommodation, which is costing approximately $42,000. If you would like to donate please do so at the Givealittle Page:
