A small band of enthusiasts met over the dark winter nights at the end of 2018 – they dared to dream about establishing a rowing club in Burntisland similar to the one established in neighbouring Kinghorn.
On 30 January more than 60 people came along to the Roasting Project on the High Street in Burntisland to register their skills, expertise and (most importantly) show their interest and enthusiasm in becoming involved in the different aspects of establishing a Rowing Club in Burntisland.
Since those early days, and enormous amount of work has been undertaken across a number of fronts. We now have a constitution drafted and office bearers elected; we have a bank account and are exploring multiple funding options; we have held our first social event in the form of a club barbecue, and also our first on-water event by means of representation at the Civic Week raft race. Thanks to Joel for bringing home our club’s first ‘gold medal’!
We are also delighted to announce that our membership have voted on a club name. We will be known as the Black Rocks Rowing Club after the familiar rock formation photogenically captured in the image above.
