OSL at World Rowing Junior Championships
Our Sporting Life to take part in the
River & Rowing Museum Pavilion at the World Rowing Junior
Championships
The World Rowing Junior Championships will take place at the
Olympic site at Eton Dorney from August 4th
-7th 2011. The River & Rowing Museum will be there
with its own pavilion to bring sporting heritage, including Our
Sporting Life, to the latest generation of international
rowers.
The exhibition will include six topics:
- River & Rowing Museum
- Rowing
- Canoeing
- Our Sporting Life
- Eton College/Dorney Lake Trust
- Plans for 2012
The display will include rowing boats and canoes hanging from
the roof in a similar style to the Museum Rowing Gallery and there
will be exhibition cases for iconic objects. Our Sporting Life will
have postcards to record "what sport means to you" as well as
exhibition panels and film.
The Museum is working closely with LOCOG and others to be able
to do the same at this Olympic site in 2012. This will be a unique
development and one that should encourage both further visits to
and support for the River & Rowing Museum and further the Our
Sporting Life campaign to record sporting memories and experiences
that have inspired individuals and communities.
