As 2024 draws to a close, we’ve been making the most of some crisp, clear days to get out on the water. The first day of December proved unseasonably warm, so our Sunday crew took the opportunity to land at Silversands beach. Some of our club’s younger supporters met us there, and were all too happy to lend a hand hauling Irene up the beach!
We drew a fair bit of interest from other visitors to Silversands, which included some sea swimmers who were making the most of the good weather. It occurs to us that this might be an excellent place to recruit new members, so perhaps another winter row to Silversands will be on the cards for the near future. If nothing else, it’s an excellent spot for a warming cup of coffee at the Sands cafe!
Coastal rowing is not a seasonal activity – we’ll make the most of good weather all through the year to get out on the water. The Committee is working on an exciting events calendar for 2025, which will include a mixture of rowing and social events both on and off the water. We’re always on the lookout for new members – so please get in touch if you’d like to find out more!
