John and Brent Hartland.

Some news - some good - some bad - from Southampton Rowing Club's regarding their long standing members John and Brent Hartland.

Brent had been very ill but is now doing very well. He's walking and managed steps. He's eating and drinking and now waiting to be transferred to Rehab which will be Gosport,  when there is a bed. So that's the good news.

Now for the bad - John Hartland passed away on the 20th January. John was a member of SARC in the 50's and helped John Bailey with the "Evolution" when John was developing it as a centre seat boat. He had been seriously ill with dementia for a number of years.
