Para 1.20 | Membership has continued to grow and reached 30 members. The newly qualifed level 2 coach was able to run a nationally recognized Learn to Row course, which attracted 3 new members. The CIO is now able to ofer a minimum of two Learn to Row Level 2 courses a year, which will give complete novices a recognized qualifcation with British Rowing. This course helps the club maintain standards and levels of safety. The CIO was able to maintain consistent weekly rowing sessions for social rowers to enjoy the opportunity of training on the water. These were held 2x a week in Winter (Saturdays and Sundays) and 3x a week in Summer (Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday). The CIO had a very good years entering all the Coastal Rowing League regattas in the region, the British Rowing Ofshore Championships held in Jersey and Masters Championships Henley. The club successfully raised enough money to buy a new racing double. This has been a huge benft to those members who have represented the club at competition level. |
The remaining fleet of boats have been maintained for those members who social row. The CIO continues to be fully affiliated with British Rowing and West of England Amateur Rowing Association (WEARA). Affiliation to these associations also facilitate access to best practice and guidance documents to ensure that standards are enforced and being maintained. We continue to benefit from the expertise of one of our members who is an ex- international rowing coach, through seminars and on water coaching. One of the biggest achievements of the club was to host the clubs inaugural regatta. This was the first coastal rowing regatta to be held in Cornwall. The event was a huge success for the club and local businesses. It was held at a local Yacht club and attracted 100 competitors and visitors to the Cornwall. The event was hailed as one of the best regattas in the Coastal Rowing League. New relationships have been forged with the local businesses who look forward to welcoming us back in 2025. The club benefitted by being supported by almost all its members, family, friends and locals. The positive atmosphere within the club, following the regatta, created an environment where members where keen to continue to support club activities. The positive energy will be channeled into improving the club facilities. Our aim is to replace our old dilapidated container with a new container with an area that can be used to socialize off the water.
