Unique Autographed Rowing Calendar

Want to win one of the most unique sets of British rowing signatures you will ever see? This special copy of the 2004 Rowing Calendar (see left) features not only photos of members of the M4-, M8+ and GB men's sculling squad, but also the (highly collectable) signatures of most of Britain's most famous oarsmen and women. Prize Draw Deadline Extended To February 29th I've extended the deadline to carry on gathering rowing signatures, and now have all the Sydney Four, plus commentators, journalists, coaches, rowers, coxes and previous Olympic medallists. There will probably never be another autograph collection like this: a snapshot of British Rowing at the start of the Third Millennium, it is the kind of item which will one day be worth a lot of money, especially outside rowing circles. And it could be yours for a fiver..... Send in your cheque now to enter the draw

To win this unusual calendar you need to make a contribution to one of two British rowing charities. Please write a cheque to either the Rowing Foundation or the Mark Lees Trust, whichever you prefer, for £5 sterling. On the back or stapled to the cheque, please put your full name and address in block capitals, together with either a phone number or a valid email address.

Send it to Rachel Quarrell (The Rowing Service) at 17 Ellesmere Road, Oxford, OX4 4JG, UK. Cheques should reach that address by the end of 29th February 2004 (note changed date), and the draw to pick one winner from all of them will be made at the start of March, to be announced on the Rowing Service. All cheques will be forwarded on to the charities concerned.

Anyone can make multiple entries, in the interests of raising money for rowing's charitable causes, but each must be made on a separate £5 cheque. Non-personal cheques are fine (eg clubs, societies) as long as they are accompanied by a clearly legible contact name and address. If you can't deal in British currency please email me.

Thanks for your contribution, and good luck!
