Training

We have an active Summer and Winter Program of events and training schedules, both at weekends and in mid-week. This covers both water based training (both rowing and sculling) and land based training (circuits and rowing machines).

In general we meet at the clubhouse at the following times:

Mondays
18:30 to 21:00 (on the water in Summer, circuits in Winter)

Thursdays
18:30 to 21:00 (on the water in Summer, circuits in Winter)

Saturdays
07.15 to 09:15 (Senior squad)

Saturdays
09.30 to 11:00 (Senior and Development squads)

Sundays
07.15 to 09.30 (Senior squad)

Now that the clocks have changed, the evenings are now light enough for us to get out on the water on the Monday and Thursday sessions. This will continue until the autumn when we revert to Winter training, when there is indoor training on Monday and Thursday evenings. This is usually circuit based, but we vary the contents between sessions to keep it interesting. If you're not yet ready to start out on the water (or simply want to get fit), we do also offer an option (during the winter) of a circuits based membership option.

You're welcome to drop in to one of these sessions but before coming down (especially at a week-end) it is worth contacting us first or checking the forthcoming races page. This is because if we are competing at an event, there may be limited (or no) training on those days.

Rowed before?

If you have rowed before and are looking to get back into the sport, or want to change clubs for any reason, we also offer taster memberships or pro-rata annual fees.

Alternatively, if you row currently at University or College and want to carry on during the vacations, we also have a Student Away membership at reduced rates. Both of these allow you full access to club facilities and to compete for the club.

You can find more details on membership types and fees on the membership page. If you'd like to ask any questions about membership or the club, just drop us a line to find out more.
