“Thank you so much for your duty, kindness, care and for personifying our values - Scottish Rowing is stronger because of you, and we owe you a debt of profound gratitude for your service - I hope that the care, pride and support that you have shown in our community, will be reciprocated back onto you as you step back, but certainly not away from our community”.
