Boat Naming Ceremony

Posted on Thu, 3 Apr, 2025

On Tuesday 25th March, we had the privilege of celebrating the naming of our three new Learn to Row boats:

‘David Fitzherbert’ – Honouring David’s incredible 10 years as Chair.

‘Mary Coughlan’ – Recognising former CEO Steve O’Connor’s dedication and service.

‘Donald Searle’ – A heartfelt thank you to a special Funder of Fulham Reach Boat Club.

It was a meaningful moment for our community and it was great to have our new Chair Delia Parry with us for this celebration.

We are so grateful for the generosity and support of our amazing friends and funders—your kindness makes our charity work possible. A big thank you to everyone who joined us for speeches, food, and fizz as we christened the boats.

We’re so lucky to have this incredible community—thank you for being part of the journey!

With thanks to everyone who helped make this celebration happen and with thanks to Justyna and Julia for sharing these wonderful photos!
