The Dartmouth
Boggle and Word Yahtzee Sports Club (amateur)
established just before
teatime 1993©

W.E.A.R.A. is the West of England Amateur
Rowing Association and they are responsible for a 10 Regatta series of skiff
& sculling races throughout the westcountry. Dartmouth is the biggest of
these events with over 460 individuals competing in eights, fours, pairs and
single sculls categories.
Although there has been very little Boggle
participation in this racing over the last couple of years, we all still
have a great interest. The Boggles founder members were all members of
Dartmouth Amateur Rowing Club during the 1990's and we learned the skills of
rowing from the Rowing School. From 1991 Boggle members started competing in
WEARA competitions and in 1992 an all Boggle crew of Ed Parr Ferris, Ross
Pyne, Shaun Barker & Dave Rogers became the first Boggles to win a West of
England Championship. Boggle members now have inexcess of 30 WEARA
Championship medals. The WEARA races are held
on the Thursday of regatta week, please take the time to watch some of the
racing and visit the Rowing Club (just above the higher ferry) for a bite to
eat &/or a drink. |
