| Rowing |
| I began rowing in 2000/2001 with the school rowing club during my 5th year. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would cycle down to Glasgow Rowing Club on a Saturday morning. After finishing school I went to Strathclyde University where I joined the rowing club in my 2nd year. We had a fantastic year and won the Scottish University Championship. The following year I was made Vice Captain of the Novice Women but I had to stand down in order to keep up with my studies. Since then I rowed occasionally with Strathclyde until I graduated in July 2006. I joined Clyde Amateur Rowing Club and rowed with them for a while but my attendance has slipped. |

While rowing with Strathclyde University Boat Club I assisted Glasgow Humane Society with safety cover and accident prevention on the Clyde and continued to assist through-out my time with Clyde. I still lend my help when I can with safety cover for events on and around the Clyde. Glasgow Humane Society is lead by Lifeguard Officer George Parsonage and is assisted by a large number of volunteers. Some of these volunteers come from the rowing community who use the river on a daily basis. |
