Event information

This event has passed.

Aimed at adults.

Cost: $200, includes insurance and membership from 1 October until 31 December. (Register and pay by Thursday Sept 29)

Session 1: Saturday October 1st, 7:00am to 9:00 am. This first session will be on land — ergos, boat handling, introductions, induction, discussions about timing of sessions to follow. 

Session 2: Likely to be Sunday Oct 2, same time, depending on how many participants and helpers are available (there’s a big regatta happening the same day that may influence numbers).

Subsequent sessions (6 to 8 more): These will be on weekends, usually in the 7:00 to 9:00 am time slot. note 1: If the whole group prefers to row in the late afternoon that may be a possibility. note 2: It is ok if to miss a session, but it helps if people let us know in advance so we can book boats and helpers.

Location: 55 Riverside Boulevard, Riverside Gardens. Underneath the Community Centre, look for the two big roller doors at the end of the second driveway.

Wear: Slightly stretchy clothes like you might wear to the gym. 

Bring: Water bottle, cap, socks, sneakers for use on ergos, sense of humour, sprinkling of patience (some things are harder than they look), and a dollop of eagerness.
