If you would like to learn how to cox then please email Alastair at captainofrowing@goringgapbc.org.uk to register your interest.
GoRow day – Saturday 28th March. We will be holding an open day (10am-12pm) for anyone who would like to try out rowing, so bring a friend and come and give rowing a go. Our coaches and club members will be on hand to help show you the ropes.
