Join us at Malvern College for the annual OM Club Dinner. This year’s dinner will be held as the finale event of Commemoration and through this prestigious evening in the Malvern calendar, we will be paying tribute to the life and work of Paul Godsland (Staff 1982 – 2024).
Our guest speaker for the evening is Sam Glover (5.90-92), who last year completed a remarkable solo row across the Atlantic Ocean, emerging as the fastest solo competitor in The World’s Toughest Row with an extraordinary race time of just 42 days, 3 hours, and 15 minutes.
Covering an arduous 3000 nautical miles, Sam, aboard The Entrepreneur Ship, reached the historic Nelson’s Dockyard in Antigua on Wednesday, 24th January, 2024. His journey, which commenced from La Gomera in the Canary Islands on 13th December, showcased not only physical endurance but also an impressive strategic approach.
Sam’s expedition exemplifies the indomitable human spirit and unwavering determination. Amidst a myriad of challenges and triumphs, from overcoming the fear of diving into the water to scrape barnacles off the boat’s hull, to the exhilaration of witnessing a moonrise near the equator, each day brought a unique set of obstacles and joys. Even when faced with a setback involving his boat’s battery, Sam’s adaptability and problem-solving skills came to the fore as he implemented power-saving measures – a true embodiment of the Malvern Qualities. Read more about Sam’s epic row.
We hope you will join us.
