Try Rowing & Learn to Row 

If you want to try rowing  for recreation only, Star Club offers 'Try Rowing Courses’ for recreational beginners which are held over 6 consecutive Sunday mornings  - 09:30 till Midday.
 

Any missed sessions will count as one of your 6 sessions unless a session is cancelled by the Club due to inclement weather, river
conditions or competition events on the river. 
 

All training sessions comprise of:- 

-09:30 till 10:00 Concept 2 ergo training in the Club’s gym to establish basic technique and develop fitness followed by -10:00 till Midday on the water in a single training boat – you in the boat on your own. 
 

You will follow a tried and tested programme which will give you some basic water skills & develop your confidence and competence on the water.  The course is not designed to make you into a fully proficient oarsman - just give you a taste. 

The cost of a 'Try Rowing Course’ is £150 for all 6 sessions. 

 

 After completion of the ‘Try Rowing Course’ you will be invited to  join the Club’s Recreational Squad whorow a couple of times each week normally Tuesday evenings and Sunday mornings but otherwise by arrangement. 

See the Membership page for current rates of subscription.
 

If, after 6 weeks you feel you need more development before joining the Recreational Squad, the option exists to enrol for another 6 week ‘Try Rowing Course’. This will be subject to availability. 

​

If you decide to change your mind and want to row competitively 

and can meet the Club’s requirements, the option exists to transfer to the Club’s  ‘Learn To Row Programme’ (LTRP).
