Poppi Did It

 


A phone call made me cry today.

Poppi's up north rowing in National competitions on Lake Kastoria.  She's just been chosen for the Greek Women's rowing team that will be competing somewhere in the Balkans next month.

I literally cried with happiness.

Go Poppi Go



From Poros champion


         To 'the sky and beyond. There is no limit.'

  8. Well done Poppi. I rowed 'eights', but never very successfully. I know the dedication involved.

    1. You certainly need dedication if you want to continue. But it's a sport that many seem to enjoy here
