Gig Rowing @ Watersports Festival

On Friday 5th October 20 special and mainstream schools took part in a watersports festival that took place due to a Plan Your 2012 bid that was won through the ‘Get Set Network’ which was the Educational Programme designed to engage young people in the 2012 Games. Applied for by Woodlands Special School in Plymouth, they are one of only 75 schools to win a bid in the whole country!

Close to 170 young people took part in all different types of watersport activities. From high speed RIB rides to bellboating and gig rowing everyone had a wonderful day on the water.

Hopefully this will become an annual event!
