The four women behind Devon’s ‘Row for the Ocean’ team are overjoyed to have raised four and a half thousand pounds in one night at their charity auction, raffle and boat unveiling at The Terrace in Exeter last week (Thursday 13th September).

During the day there will also be a chance to show what you’re made of by entering a rowing competition to win some plastic-free goodies.
Let us know how you make Exeter plastic free by tweeting us @RowForTheOcean...
