Dear all
Godfrey Rowing Kit is now available via their online order window, which is open until midnight on Sunday 18th December. Godfrey are the suppliers of all our lycra performance wear, as well as lots of other ‘nice to have’ stuff, including polo shirts and seat pads for the boat or ergo.
Please note that if you are intending to compete in any summer regattas, you must race in a BRC all in one
To order, go to www.godfrey.co.uk
Select ‘Bedford’ from the drop down list.
Please note a few important points regarding this order window:
* For this order only, there will be no postage and packaging to pay. The Godfrey rep is coming down to meet with us at the end of January/beginning of February and will bring the order down with him
* The price quoted will not necessarily be the price you pay. When the order window closes, the order is collated and the price is determined by the number of the same item ordered. i.e. if only 1 splashtop is ordered it will cost £81, but if 4 people order a splashtop, each will come down to £71. Your debit or credit card will not be charged until after the order has been collated.
* In the ‘Delivery address’ field, just type Bedford Rowing Club. Do not put your personal address in this field or you may be charged postage.
Please feel free to contact me if you need any clarification on the order process.

It is with deep regret that Bedford Rowing Club has to report the death today of Tony Goodman. Elected as Vice-President of the Club in 1992, Tony held the office of Club President from 2001 to 2006, providing great support to both the Rowing & Social Clubs.
His funeral will be held at Bedford Crematorium on 7th December at 13:45
