You should have a go before you commit to the club! Normally we invite triallists for 2 sessions to see whether gig rowing and FXRC is for them. Don't worry about inexperience - it really doesn't matter as you will be well looked after and coached.
We can supply a buoyancy aid and all you need thereafter is a good sense of humour and a have a go attitude. The idea is to have some fun whilst burning up a few calories.
Check our scheduled rowing times in the What's On section of this website.
