Join the club
You don’t have to join the club to just have a go! Get in touch with us to find out more.
Our membership is made up of a wide range of ages, abilities, fitness, and confidence! Not everyone feels confident on the sea and we are proud to say we have coached newcomers who are fearful of the sea to become confident rowers in just a few months.
We also have a good track record of training novices to become race-winning athletes, or confident recreational rowers, and every member receives quality coaching from day one. We have a number of qualified Level 2 coaches as well as unqualified but passionate and experienced members who get involved with coaching at all levels.
Frequently asked questions
Do you need to be fit to start rowing?
You don’t need to be super-fit to try rowing, we have a wide range of fitness levels in the club. All shapes and sizes are actively encouraged to join. However, we would recommend having a check-up with your GP if you haven’t engaged in any exercise for a long period of time as it is quite a physical sport.
Do I need any kit?
No, the club can provide all the equipment you need. Just wear clothing you’d be comfortable to row in and a pair of shoes you don’t mind getting wet.
Is there an age limit?
The club is open to everyone aged 14 and above.
I have no experience, can I have a go?
Absolutely! Get in touch to arrange a taster.
How much does it cost?
Our taster sessions are £5 each, up to a maximum of three tasters. If you get the rowing bug and decide to join, our club subs are £72 a year and concessions are available for students and juniors. There’s nothing more to pay unless you decide enter races which are normally between £5 and £15 per person.
If you don’t want to row, but would still like to be involved, and get out on the water, we are always looking for people to become dedicated coxes (the person who steers the boat and controls the crew). We have a special membership rate available for our dedicated coxes.
If you decided that you want to progress to full membership, annual adult subs are:
- £20 if you join between 1st January and 31st March
- £72 if you join between 1st April and 30th September
- £36 if you join between 1st October and 31st December
