The clock's ticking for this year's Pub & Club regatta. Training starts from 1st May with the Regatta date being Saturday 31st May.
What It Is
The event is organised for crews of persons with no or very little rowing experience. During May the crews will be coxed by rowing club members resulting in races for men, women and mixed crews in coxed fours over a 400m downstream course.
As well as the races on the water, the day also involves ergo competitions, a disco and barbecue. It's very much a family day with fun to be had by all, participants and spectators alike.
So get planning now, entries are welcome for the following events:
Men's Coxed Fours
Women's Coxed Fours
Mixed Coxed Fours
You can enter a complete crew of four friends, family or colleagues, a partial crew or as an individual. For partial crews and individuals we'll match you up to create some composite crews.
How to Enter
Entries can be submitted and paid for using our new online entry system (to be released soon), or by post/hand to the Club.
For this year, the Captain has agreed to reduce the rate from £40 per crew to just £20 per crew - that's only £5 a head and for that you receive 4 weeks training and coaching, up to six sessions on the water, your entry into the Regatta, full access to the club, its gym and the bar! - you don't get value like that every day!
What You'll Need
All you need is some enthusiasm and standard sports clothing. Rowing is a water sport, so you can expect to get a bit wet from splashes etc so you should also bring along a change of clothes when training on the water.
We have changing rooms and showers at the club for you to use.
All coaching and equipment will be provided by us, and we'll cox the boats (unless you have an experienced cox of your own you want to bring along) but don't forget all rowers must have no, or very little experience.
