The Sport Pembrokeshire team have put in an oar-some effort to spruce up the premises of a popular Pembrokeshire rowing club.
Sponsored by Valero as part of Sport Pembrokeshire’s annual Task Force Day, the volunteer team picked up their brushes to give Fishguard and Goodwick Jemima Rowing Club a new lick of paint.
Based in the picturesque surroundings of Lower Town Fishguard, Fishguard and Goodwick Jemima Rowing Club is a Disability Sport Wales accredited Insport Club at Ribbon level.
The Task Force Day – now in its seventh year - is a small way the Sport Pembrokeshire team can give something back to the strong community of sport and physical activity clubs locally.
Matt Freeman, Sport Pembrokeshire Manager, said: “We supported the club because they offer a wide range of inclusive opportunities for the Fishguard community and surrounding areas.
“The club is well-governed, with a dedicated team of active volunteers who work alongside a committed committee to promote sustainability and ensure its long-term success.”
Martha Owen, Commodore of Fishguard Bay Yacht Club and Chair of Fishguard and Goodwick Jemima Rowing Club, said: “We had a lovely surprise when the opportunity arose to receive the support.
“The building was looking sad and definitely needed some care and attention. Working with the Sport Pembrokeshire team, we have collectively transformed the building. It looks fantastic and we cannot thank them enough.”
Stephen Thornton, Public Affairs Manager at Valero, said: “We are committed to supporting community sport in Pembrokeshire and were delighted to support this particular initiative.
“We wish Fishguard and Goodwick Jemima Rowing Club every success in the future and thank the staff of Sport Pembrokeshire for their time and dedication to helping grassroots sport.”
