Truro River Rowing Club owes much of its history to Jo Pearce, a founding member of the club, who lives above Loe Beach — land owned and cared for by her family.
The club’s first plastic training boat was named in honour of Jo’s mother, Patricia Williams, fondly known in her younger years as “Lady Loe.” In 2017, when Truro acquired a second plastic training boat, the recent passing of Mr Paul Williams made the decision an easy one. In recognition of everything the Williams family had done to help establish the club and keep it close to their hearts, the boat was named in his honour.
Following the passing of Mrs Patricia Williams in 2020, the two inseparable “lovebirds,” Paul and Lady Loe, are now remembered together — their names side by side on the beach, overlooking the wonderful waters that meant so much to them and to the club.
