Making Waves Together: Lightning Fibre Backs Eastbourne Rowing Club
Lightning Fibre is proud to announce its sponsorship of Eastbourne Rowing Club, one of the town's longest-established sports clubs and a familiar sight on Eastbourne seafront for more than 160 years.
The sponsorship year begins at an exciting time for the club as it prepares to host its annual Eastbourne Regatta on Sunday, 2nd August from 10am to 4pm.
Eastbourne Regatta Roundup
Taking place along Eastbourne seafront at Royal Parade, the club's home event is completely free to watch and will welcome around 250 competitors from 10 visiting rowing clubs for a full day of racing.
There are 24 competitive races throughout the day.
Lightning Fibre is proud to be sponsoring three races at this year's regatta: the Open Junior Four, Open Masters 50s, and the Open Novice Sculls Final.
Spectators can watch from the beach and promenade, with excellent views of the course stretching between Fisherman's Green and Eastbourne Pier.
On the sea since 1860
Founded in 1860, Eastbourne Rowing Club is one of the oldest coastal rowing clubs in the country.
Based at The Boathouse on Royal Parade, the club welcomes people of all abilities, from complete beginners through to experienced competitors.
Membership is open to juniors aged 13 and over, students and adults.
The club trains on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Sunday mornings. Summer sessions take place on the sea, while winter training combines indoor fitness work with rowing at Wallers Haven near Pevensey.
The club also competes throughout the South Coast rowing circuit, travelling to regattas and competitions across Sussex, Kent and Hampshire. As part of our sponsorship with the club, we will be supporting the Junior Four boat and it's crew for the season.
