Ray Cassidy Memorial Fund
Last week we said our final farewell to Ray Cassidy at his moving Memorial Mass in West Malling. A significant number of Curlew Alumni were in attendance to share their joyful stories of Coach Ray and pay tribute to his extraordinary contribution to the club. His Memorial Fund will close this Friday, 3 April to create a commemorative plaque for the Curlew clubhouse.

The Vets Squad made us proud this weekend on the tideway for Vesta International Head of the River Race!

The Vet’s Coordinator, Jon Cole, said: “It was a big step-up from last year in speed, leading to a placing of 13th out of 20 for our age category and 71st overall. At just 10% off the winning age category time, this bodes well for success in the regatta season!”

Our Senior Men took to the tideway yesterday for racing down the championship course! Curlew A finished 261 and Curlew B 318 out of 375 crews on the 100th anniversary of HoRR 💙🔥

Check out our Vets Crew taking on the Vesta International Masters Head on Sunday!

They are one of 296 crews taking to the championship course over 6.8km.

We will be cheering on our Vets from the banks so make sure to say hello. Best of luck to this crew. Let’s go Curlew 💙
