#ROWING: Carrick-on-Shannon Rowing Club have launched an appeal on gofundme.com. The club hopes to raise €15,000 to move clear of a problem which arose because of insufficient insurance cover. The payment should settle the issue without a court case, and those behind the club say a lesson has been learnt.
Carrick-on-Shannon is one of the oldest sports clubs in Ireland. It was founded in 1836. It is run solely by volunteers, and the bill they are facing is a major one, given the size of the club.
