Rowing Sports Section World Police and Fire Games - Quebec By Rowing Secretary - PC Sue Palmer The event is held every two years, the last one was in Barcelona where over 20 members of the Club attended and took part in a variety of events. This year the Games were held at Quebec in July. The distance and cost involved meant that there were no entries from Lancashire other than myself. I travelled with the Prison Service Sports Association. I had a great time and was looked after well by their organising staff. I went onto win Gold in the 2000m open 40-44hwt in a PB of 7:30.1, Gold in the Ladies Doubles competing with Kris Hemmings of the Prison Service and Silver in the mixed doubles competing with Tim Ellis of the Prison Service. The next games are in Adelaide in March 2007.
