Return to Rowing: 

As the government’s guidelines on Social distancing and participation in sporting activity is beginning to be relaxed, the club is planning to adopt a phased return to rowing.

Please keep up to date with the latest news.

Principles

The clubs plan to return to rowing is formed around the following principles;

The Government guidance on staying alert and safe (social distancing) should be adhered to.

All members must take responsibility for their own wellbeing and safety.

Guidance from the government on the 13th May 2020 for a phased return to outdoor sport.

All forms of water sports practised on open waterways, including sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, rowing, kayaking, surfing, paddle-boarding and the use of privately-owned motorised craft (in line with the guidance issued by the relevant navigation authority) are allowed.

All of these activities must only be undertaken alone, with members of your household or, providing you are following social distancing guidelines, with just 1 other person from outside your household. For example, it would not be possible to form a double or Canadienne canoe, kayak or rowing boat with someone outside your household as it would not be possible to abide by the social distancing guidelines.
