There will be a celebration of Jo’s life at the Clyde Coast & Garnock Crematorium at 3pm on Monday the 15th May. Her family have suggested that instead of flowers, people might like to make a donation to St Vincents Hospice who provided to support to them when it needed most.

Her family has also asked that those attending wear a bit of their favourite team/sports clothing or if not sport inclined then something else they love and have a passion for - ideally one shared with Jo such as dogs, sci-fi, sport or computer games.

If anyone has any photographs of Jo they would like to share with us, please email them to caroline.parker@scottish-rowing.org.uk

The Scottish Rowing Spring Regatta and Scottish Student Rowing Championships took place at Strathclyde Country Park last weekend in traditionally un-springlike conditions, with a large entry from clubs across the UK. Competitors welcomed a return to a more conventional racing format and enjoyed a full schedule of competition across both days.

Windy conditions on Saturday - while not up to the worst Strathclyde Park can produce - proved challenging for some competitors. Sunday was colder but calmer – better for rowers than spectators - and the Big Bobble Hat stall did a roaring trade. We were also pleased to welcome RivalKit, our performance kit partner, back to the event.

Adding to the sense of occasion was a surprise visit from Dame Katherine Grainger DBE on Saturday to take part in ceremony to name four new Scottish Rowing performance boats. Purchased with support from sportscotland, the new Filippi racing boats will ensure Scottish Rowing athletes on the performance pathway have access to world class equipment for trialing and racing.
