Porthgain ladies rowing victory!

Mel paints a lovely picture of the Porthgain ladies Ella Rose team trip to the Scillies this year on the howies blog.

This is a girl that trained like a trooper in preparation for the racing and then found herself with a dicky back and physically unable to compete. Nonetheless - she came along - goddamit she:

-drove us there
-supported us start to finish
-took piccies of us from a boat
-gave up her Scillies howies t shirt to Hannah - our lastminute rower from Bristol gig club

and even bought the champagne and cakes for after the last race!

What a girl. Mel - we LOVE you, you are a star - bring on Scillies 2010 :)
