Background
As well as the relatively formal learn-to-row courses in the summer we have a more informal way of getting in to rowing for adults. On Wednesday mornings we offer those who are not at work (or are otherwise available) a chance to learn to row in small groups. Experienced rowers are also welcome.
We meet at 9.30 and finish 12.00 noon approx. For beginners we have use of our Explore Rowing Swift stable training boats (three quads/fours, two doubles/pairs and two singles). For the more experienced we have the choice (within limits) of the club's fine (skinny) boats.
The charge is £5 a session or £17 for a monthly off-peak membership (going up to £6 and £20 in September 24).
If interested in coming along, please get in touch first as we have limited numbers we can cope with on any one day - email Colin Percy at colinwpercy@gmail.com.

Advice for new starters
For anyone coming for the first time, make sure you bring sports clothing (indoor and outdoor, not too baggy), trainers and wellies/sandals/wet shoes - nothing too expensive - it might get a bit dirty or wet. Hoodies or jackets with open pockets are not allowed when rowing or on the rowing machines (thumbs get caught). A full change of clothes is advised.
