Finally after six months of flooding and lockdown, we are back on the water. Unfortunately we are still very restricted.
We cannot restart club sessions or have events or social gatherings.
Only the following are allowed:
- Private singles, doubles or canoes
- Club singles
- Club boats with all rowers from the same household
We have several fun boats that members can use with their families:
- two punts
- Snuffy – gig with room for 2 scullers and 2 small coxes
- Jolly Roger – gig for two sweep oar rowers and a cox
- Water Vole – fixed seat family boat
- two Canadian canoes
- one manufactured single with floats
- two home-made singles with floats
Richard Berkley is running single sculling coaching sessions. Please email Richard if you are interested.
Picnics are now allowed, but only for members’ families.
Please keep the forecourt clear at all times as construction work access may be required.
