Dear club members.
Over the next 48 hours our club will more than likely get flooded to a height greater than 2015, and potentially higher than any of our most senior club members have experienced.
Our club will be okay, we have taken all appropriate measures with our pontoon, our boats, and our equipment. The new changing rooms were designed for a flooding event. The building is a tough old ship and she has been through this many times.
This will be a test for the club, but we are up to the challenge as we have since 1877.
In 48 hours we could be the only rowing club on the Whanganui River.
