Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Activities In April 2022, Club members were grateful to emerge from Covid-19 restrictions, and resume a more “normal” level of activity and competition. The competitive rowing programme included Club rowers at the World Championships on the Isle of Scilly in May, as well as regattas at Newquay, Poole, Langstone, Caradon, Lyme Regis and Swanage. The highlight of the year was our home regatta, held from Weymouth beach in May. The event was highly successful in bringing together members from throughout the Club, and was an important part of our fund-raising activities. Recreational rowing was offered on almost every day of the week during the summer, with members benefitting from generally excellent rowing and weather conditions. Clubhouse Facilities The Club continued as an Associate Member of Weymouth Sailing Club, and our members gradually resumed use of their Clubhouse facilities. The Club also spent considerable time during the year on the feasibility of replacing our Boatshed with a much larger facility. Junior Rowing The junior section resumed rowing on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings, and enjoyed a highly successful competitive season. Membership The Club’s membership increased to a record high level of 244 at the year end.
