Once the Learn to Row Rookie course is completed adults can continue rowing by becoming a member of the Club. You will need to complete a Membership Application Form and pay the applicable membership fee. You then can participate in the ‘Turn Up N Row’ sessions which offer guidance, interaction with other members and grow your experience; use the indoor rowing machines (ergo) and also partake in social and/or competitive rowing.

For Juniors (14-17yrs) that complete the course they can continue on by becoming a member of the Club and will develop their rowing skills as part of the Junior Development Squad.
