Congratulations to all the rowers. This has taken a huge amount of dedication and hard work, not to mention the determination required to compete in these tough races. Our teams were invariably competing against much younger crews.
Training
We are a notably social group with activities on and off the water. We row on Sunday mornings around the year, and on Wednesdays and Fridays from April to October.
When the weather or sea state prevents rowing we use our ERGO rowing machines to keep us fit and improve our technique, We also have planned ERGO sessions throughout the year for racing teams and for general keep fit.
Clubs along the Devon coast invite us to come to their regattas which are for serious racing along with warm friendship. We do likewise.
We generally take part in the Gig Rowing World Championship held in the Scilly Isles, an amazing event, and we all come home with a world ranking!
Once or twice a year we arrange a trip to row along the coast to Beer or Budleigh Salterton for Sunday morning breakfast.
