We are hosting a beer and burger/silent auction at the Lantzville pub on Sunday, November 26 from 3-8pm. Tickets are $25 each with $10 of each ticket going directly to a new boat fund. We have 90 tickets for our club to sell. Tickets are available at the club.
The silent auction and ticket sales for the 50/50 and gift card draws will run end from about 5:30-7:30 pm. We are looking for donations for the silent auction and hope each member can contribute at least one item.
Don’t hesitate to ask friends and families and businesses you work with for donations of services and items. Even small amounts add up. A new double is more than $16,000 so we need this to be a success. If you are unable to contribute or attend, donations can also be made directly to the NRC equipment fund. Any donation of $20 or more is tax deductible.
The Lantzville Pub burger patties are all homemade and both the beef burgers and veggie burgers are delicious! It is sure to be a fun night. Tickets can be redeemed for a glass of house wine or a beer and a beef burger or veggie burger anytime between 3-8 pm but sales for the 50/50 and gift card draw will be happening approx. 5:30-7:30 pm. So there is flexibility to fit this into busy schedules.
Thank you everyone for your support and hope you can come and join in a fun night.

OUR HOME
Nanaimo Rowing Club's home base and clubhouse is located on Long Lake in Nanaimo, BC, where we are able to train almost year-round. Our members range in age from 12-75 years old. We have a strong group of competitive junior rowers and a small but enthusiastic group of masters (that's anyone over 27 years old!).
Long Lake is right in the middle of North Nanaimo, near the Uplands and Diver Lake areas. The Long Lake Heights neighbourhood sits on lofty, rocky perches above the lake. There is valuable real estate at Long Lake, with waterfront estates and classy bed and breakfasts.
Deceptively larger than it appears from the road, it is a perfect place for Nanaimo's rowing club. There are also facilities for swimmers, sunbathers and fishermen.
