History
Runcorn Rowing Club was established in 1894 on land purchased from the Marquis of Cholmondeley.[2][3] The club received funding in 2005 under British Rowings's 'Project Oarsome' which saw membership increase from 39 to 100 members.[4]
Facilities
The club has three boat sheds, the latest opened by Derek Twigg MP in April 2008.[5] A new club house was constructed in 2016 funded by the Sports Council and assisted by specialists from the consortium working on the Mersey Gateway Bridge.[3]
gollark: Without the ID thing, though.
gollark: I mean, my networking thing is effectively a port of rednet, and thus really inefficient and bad, which is probably why it uses so much power?
gollark: Probably, but then I would have had to hook everything to skynet/SPUDNET or something.
gollark: Yes, I'm aware.
gollark: I also had a server rack with a bunch of devices with linked cards (and wireless ones) relaying packets to remote locations, and under heavy load *that* apparently sometimes just crashes despite being connected to a several-kRF/t power supply.
