Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	Although numbers were low the club managed to enter crews for all the Coastal Rowing League regattas. We also entered crews to the British Offshore Coastal Championships and the World Rowing Offshore Coastal Championships, in which we finished in the top 20 finalists. During 2022 the overall membership dropped to 19. This was mainly due to lack of organisation of on water sessions. The age range is from 17-80, with a mixture of novices and experienced rowers. Club members managed to get out on the water for club sessions, at least once a week. There were no changes to the fleet or premises. The CIO continues to be fully affiliated with British Rowing and West of England Amateur Rowing Association (WEARA). This has allowed us to row competitively at a price which allows all members to take part. We competed regularly in WEARA regattas, regularly being placed in top positions.
