We had a team, see picture below, in the Viking Longboat Boat Races in Peel, on Saturday 4th August. The VIKING VETS were sponsored by Manx Print Care. This team was in the mixed races (5 men & 5 women), rowing in the afternoon and appreciated some support from people on the quayside. The team T-shirts were bright Kelly Green with yellow writing -- you couldn’t miss them! They did very well, beating several other teams. Our team members were Geoff and Moira Hall, Dave and Lynn Quine, Arnie Jacobs, Ingrid Sugden, Les Brown, Rob Gallanders, Mo Kelly and Sue Ackroyd.
