Our role is to promote and facilitate coastal rowing on the sea and river in two traditionally built wooden skiff rowing boats.  We encourage new members to take up rowing, teach and train, take part in regattas and coastal rowing events, hosted our own home regatta in 2024, and now in 2025 we are training and preparing for the World Championships in Stranraer Scotland.  We mix with other clubs, hold evening social and (boat/rowing) educational meetings and provide 2 indoor rowing machines to assist fitness training and for poor weather alternative.  We care for and maintain the boats and equipment ourselves as much as possible.  The club continues to grow and thrive.
