This month our meeting was at The Motorist where we tipped 70 in attendance, which was fantastic! We filled the Le Mans room and the inspirational Helen Butters gave a talk to members on the utterly mindblowing achievement that her and 3 other female friends made in 2016 when they said “yes!” to taking on the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge and rowed 3000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean, becoming Guinness World Record holders.
Learning how you can maintain a positive mindset whilst for rowing 2 hours on and 2 hours off, 24 hours a day was remarkable and how a value of looking after each other, before yourself, was a key success to their survival. Our members came out inspired and excited to think of a challenge they could just say “yes” to and then work out how to achieve it, along with them meeting our new members and always looking for ways to join the dots and support each other in our local community.
