Coaching & Development

In keeping with our aims and objectives, we offer coaching and development support to members as well as to beginners who want to try out rowing and who may wish to join as members in due course.

Check out this video for a description of the rowing stroke and recovery - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXnKyJdA01w&feature=related

In the photo gallery below are pictures of our coaches (or at least those we have managed to capture on camera - work in progress).

We have a Coaching Group comprising the following:

Peter Smith (Junior Coordinator)

Terry Flinn

Alan Mansfield

Helen Lane (Captain)

Bronwyn Hill

Phil Collins

Peter Rouse

Other members assist from time to time lending their experience, guidance and support in keeping with the club's friendly and inclusive approach.

The Coaching Group plans activities on and off the water, including training programmes depending on ability and aspiration - you put in the perspiration!

We aim to make training interesting, relevant and inclusive.

For beginners, we run regular sessions on most Monday nights throughout the year. Contact us and we will see how best we can fit you in. Beginners pay £4 per session. If you are unemplyed or for some reason unable to afford this session fee then please let us know - we do not want to exclude anyone due to financial disadvantage and will do our best to accomodate your needs and welcome interest in our sport.

The Calendar section of this site will tell you what is happening day by day (under construction) - please check this page regularly. We will look into creating an RSS feed so as to make it as easy as possible for you to keep up to date.
