To coincide with the Christmas Fayre, our rowers will be taking part in the ever-popular 24-hour ergo challenge. This is a fun and exciting fundraising event for the club that begins on the afternoon of Friday 6th December and finishes during the School Christmas Fayre on Saturday 7th December 2024.

This challenging event is to raise funds for our chosen school charities United World Schools (UWS) and FACES, find out more here. It is also a great opportunity for all members of the BGS rowing community to work together across year groups.

We hope to see you there for an afternoon filled with festive cheer, community spirit and meaningful support for our school and its charities.
