Parents, past students and friends combine to support the rowers by doing what they do best. We are a diverse group, the loading / unloading of boats, marshalling on regatta days, towing of boat trailers, erection of tents, the organisation of rowing camps, functions for fun and profit and supporting the boys and coaches are amongst the many activities. There is a place where anybody can fit in and all are welcome. Please join us. Please feel free to help with any of the tasks on the committee structure. No experience is necessary.

Rowing meetings will be held on Thursday lunchtimes at 1.30pm in F Block (usually every 2 weeks in term 2 and every week in term 3). Information will also be placed on the Rowing Noticeboard (outside A Block).
