Radio Suffolk and more

The interview with Radio Suffolk went live on Wed afternoon on the drivetime show. You can listen again using BBC iPlayer and it's on around 1 hr 20 mins in

A few of my fellow Sudbury Rowing Club members also had a moment of fame so thank you for letting everyone know how crazy i am!

As for sponsorship it's not going as well as i'd hoped. Companies are willing to sponsor in kind ie by giving service or equipment but the boat has been kitted with most of what we need. It's really the corporate big boys we need now to pay for what we already have. There are so many great opportunities available and VAST media coverage of this race so the return on any investment is going to be immense. The hard part is making people realise that. So until we find a company willing to join our challenge it's more emailing, phoning and sending out letters. Someone will bite!

PS Race night at Walsham is tomorrow night. Free entry and lots of fun!
