2016 Ergathon

On Friday October 21, the MGC Rowing Club took part in the 2016 Ergathon. Starting at 9.00am on Friday and going through to 9.00am Saturday, the Juniors, Inters and Seniors kept the ergos ticking over for 24 hours straight.

As well as raising funds for the program, this event was a great opportunity for the rowers to get to know each other, to select and name our new captains, and to celebrate the upcoming season by christening our brand new boats. Thank you to the parents who helped by feeding the coaches and putting on an amazing breakfast spread, the staff who helped supervise and allowed the rowers to attend their sessions during the day, and finally, the MGC rowing coaches who donated their time and expertise for the evening.

The Ergathon was a great success, with a final fundrasing tally of $8777.40! Thank you to all of our friends and families for their generous donations.
