Celtic Challenge in May 2012-Dr. Jennifer Woods
Dear all, As some of you might know, I will be taking part in the Celtic Challenge in May 2012, which is an open sea rowing race from Arklow, Co Wicklow to Aberystwyth, Mid Wales, approximately 90 nautical miles across the Irish Sea. This year some 23 teams will be taking part from Ireland, Wales and other areas of the UK.
More information can be found on the Celtic Challenge here, including race rules, lists of crews entered and photos:

This year the Aberystwyth Ladies Team (for which I will be rowing) are raising money for a local charity, Apêl Elain. If you feel you would like to give a donation (however small) you can do so by going to the following website:http://www.charitygiving.co.uk/aber_ladies_cc2012
[Unfortunately this website doesn't accept Laser debit cards, but it does accept Paypal donations and certain credit cards.]
Or you can donate in person. A sponsorship form will be available in the Spanish Department Office.
More information on the Apêl Elain Charity appeal can be found here:

Various videos are available on YouTube where you can view the race start and the sea conditions we face, including these from the 2008 race with Aberystwyth Mens Team:

Many Thanks
