It is with sadness that we report the death of Jim MacRitchie.  Jim MacRitchie made a huge contribution to the sport of rowing in Scotland over many years as an oarsman, an umpire and notably as a President of the Scottish Amateur Rowing Association.   He was still serving as a Scottish Rowing umpire in 2014, such was his love of the sport.

A full obituary can be found in the Scotsman.  http://www.scotsman.com/news/obituaries/obituary-jim-macritchie-1-3649027

Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.

The funeral will take place on Wednesday 7th January at 2pm at Woodside Crematorium, Paisley PA1 2NP
