Try Rowing Day - 17th April

By WebmasterSun, 03/13/2011 - 1:00pm

Hi All,

Our next Try Rowing day is coming up on Sunday 17th April. The day is aimed at letting kids between 13 and 18 try out the sport on a no expectations basis. The day runs for about 4.5 hours and includes two sessions on the water

You can find a flyer for the day here: http://balmainrowingclub.com/try-rowing-day.pdf

I must note that this is not a replacement for Learn to Row, but instead focuses on a once off session. As such we are unfortunately very limited in our ability to take people on as full members after the course. We hope that this is still a good way for kids to try the sport, have fun and keep fit over the holidays!

Applications are now open via http://balmainrowingclub.com/tryrowing, and more information is also available on that page.
