What is Project 150?

 

Project 150 is the name coined for TTARC's appeal for funds to build and equip a new boathouse - our existing boathouse being in desperate need of replacement.  The aim was to raise £150,000 in our 150th anniversary year.  Sadly the club has not been able to achieve this aim (see progress chart), but a significant sum has been raised during 2009 and the project continues.

 

What has been done so far?

 

Notable fundraising efforts by TTARC members and associates so far include a sponsored row (£1017), Brampton coffee mornings (£723), supermarket bag-packing (£457), bucket collection on regatta day (£417) and a quiz night (£367). Other quiz competitions, a treasure hunt, a supper dance and sales of club anniversary mugs have raised a further £1000.

 

Dave Harte's epic row of all seven major Lake District lakes in 24 hours merits special mention and raised a further £490 from sponsors.

 

Local businesses and individuals have also generously supported the appeal.  One local individual (not connected to the club) donated nearly £3000 from a Lands End to John O'Groats sponsored cycle ride he completed with his sons.  Together with grants of £4000 from Cumbria County Council and £1000 from the Neighbourhood Forum, external sources have boosted the appeal by a further £17000.
