The Santa Row: A Festive Success!

The Santa Row on Saturday, 21st December, was a brilliant way to celebrate the festive season with the GGBC community! With scratch crews drawn from a hat, the short races were full of friendly competition, laughter, and a touch of chaos – exactly what we hoped for. The CS Boats served us well as we dashed across the water in style.

Many participants embraced the holiday spirit with festive clothing, from Santa hats to tinsel-trimmed outfits, adding to the cheerful atmosphere. For those who didn’t row, it was a perfect opportunity to catch up with friends and soak in the festive vibes.

A massive shout-out goes to GGBC’s Juniors, who did an incredible job running the catering. Their efforts were not only delicious but also a great success, raising £179 towards purchasing a new megaphone for the club. The bacon and egg rolls, mulled wine, tea, coffee, cakes, and mince pies were all a hit – thank you to everyone who donated so generously.

It was a heartwarming event filled with fun, food, and festive cheer, and it reminded us why the GGBC community is so special. Here’s to more brilliant moments in the new year!

A huge thank you to Christine Bates and Ros Crowder for organising the fabulous GGBC Christmas Party on Friday 13th December, at the stunning Goring and Streatley Golf Club. The evening was nothing short of magical, with so many of you joining us to celebrate the season together.

The venue looked truly enchanting, decked out in its festive best, setting the perfect scene for a night of joy and laughter. We were treated to a delicious two course meal that left everyone impressed, and the atmosphere was electric thanks to Dino’s rock band. They had the dance floor buzzing all evening – it’s safe to say we all danced the night away!

What made the night even more special was the generosity of everyone who attended. We raised nearly £500, which will be shared between the amazing charity Sport in Mind and GGBC initiatives.

Thank you to everyone who came along, contributed, and made this party such a success. It was a heartwarming way to close out the year, and we can’t wait to see you all in the new year for more fantastic GGBC events!
