Our facilities include a fleet of boats that covers all variants, as well as a licensed bar, training area, catering facilities and ladies and gents changing facilities.

Abi Musk & Heather Jones

WJ15 1x - 20 of 24 (9:50)
Shannon Horan

WJ14 2x - 11 of 17 (9:02)

The double of Abi and Heather was the second fastest (of 34 crews) double of the whole day, including senior women, and only four seconds away from being the fastest overall! Well done all!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!

River flows are increasing again after all the snow and so just a reminder to check the river conditions on the website if you are planning on going out. We are currently on Yellow Boards (Stream Increasing) and so you must seek permission from a committee member or coach before you venture out.

If in doubt, don't go out!
