Novice Rowers Welcome!

Calling all Novice Rowers!

The Wednesday evening novice nights have ended and with the evenings drawing in the club boats are heading in for their annual maintenance.

However… there is still a great opportunity to try out sliding seat and fine boat rowing with the sculling section of the club. Novices or those with some experience are always welcome to try out the fine boats.

Just email your interest using the link below and give fine boat rowing a try for just £2 adults, or 50p for Juniors.

You will be contacted with a date & time and as with gig or seine boat novice rowing you will be asked to become a member after three rows.

mailto:coaches@teignscullers.co.uk

Parents/carers of juniors need to remain at the launch site during the row.

DRY ROWING

Now it’s dark in the evenings, there’s only one place to go for your weekday rowing fix

Dry rowing will be taking place at Dyrons Leisure Centre, Newton Abbot, each Wednesday evening, commencing on 5^th October.

There are 2 structured, coached sessions, each one an hour long, starting at 6pm.

We use the crew room which is upstairs and contains 12 Concept2 machines.

So, if you are missing the rowing, why not come along – and bring a friend. It costs just £3 a session.

Places are limited so if you are interested, please let me know whether you would like to come along at 6pm or 7pm.
