Van Mildert BC

So very sad to see this. 😢 We are a bit further away, but if we can help, get in touch. @VanMildertBC

This is so very sad @VanMildertBC . Hope you can rebuild. Let us know if we can help.

If anyone is able to help, there is a fund to assist with the recovery following this devastating fire: gofund.me/4038a909

@simonphunt @ParrsPrioryRC Thank you! All of us at VMBC really appreciate it. (Abbie- VMBC Enterprise Officer)

@VanMildertBC Really sorry to hear about this. On the off chance any of your rowers are in London and want to get in a boat, let me know and you’ll be welcomed at @ParrsPrioryRC

As some of you may be aware, a fire broke out at Van Mildert Boathouse around 7.00pm yesterday evening (Tuesday 21 December). The incident was attended by the emergency services.

If you also enjoyed your time rowing @vanmildert1965 let’s try to #buildbackbetter and get our college crews back on the Wear as soon as possible in 2022 @VM_Alumni Van Mildert Boat Club Fire Recovery gofund.me/5c126cff @VanMildertBC

@BritishAthletes Thank you for your kind words and sharing this! I'll pass this onto Jess and we'll definitely look into it. Abbie (VMBC Enterprise Officer)

@VanMildertBC sorry to learn of the fire. If Jess can get in touch I wonder if the GB Rowers Charity Day in May could be utilised? The aim is for all fundraisers to participate for free and these days have raised £58k for good causes. DAVID

Devastated for Van Mildert College, Durham tonight after learning of the fire in their boathouse. We will help where we can while you recover and rebuild stronger in any way that we can. We're here for you ❤ @NorthernRowing @BritishRowing

Great to see the rowing community rallying around for @VanMildertBC after such terrible news 👇

In light of recent events we have launched a Gofundme page to raise funds for purchasing pieces of equipment that are not covered by insurance. gofund.me/a0c0773b We are enormously grateful for all your kind messages and ongoing support. Please share and/or donate.

Van Mildert Boat Club has started a Fire Recovery fund to raise money to help them recover from the fire that burnt down their boathouse, also destroying all of the boats, blades and other equipment stored there. Donations can made at GoFundMe. gofund.me/a0c0773b

We’re enormously grateful for the messages of support we’ve received over the last 12 hours. We hope to rebuild as soon as we can.

This is a sad day for the generations of Mildertians who have rowed for the College and for everyone in our community who supports them.
