The MPGS are conducting a ‘Shadow Row’ of 3,000 miles on static rowing EGRs in support of their upcoming expedition across the Atlantic. This event will consist of MPGS teams in the UK collectively matching the total distance rowed by the OAE.

The AGC Association is a charity that supports all branches of the AGC (British Army) in many ways such as Welfare Support and Death in Service Grants etc, this unfortunately has been even more prevalent this year with the tragic loss of 5 of our MPGS Soldiers in which the AGC have fully supported.
