Novice Members

Once you have completed the Sweep Stroke and Maiden Voyage session and been confirmed as a Novice member you can book onto these more involved rows which will be led by a fully trained cox and two competent crew members.

We will keep working with you on the basic technique and you will get to explore the Ouse Valley a bit more. The aim is to get you on to the competent, open rows as soon as possible.

Once certified as a competent rower by your supervising cox you can choose to progress to either an Associate membership or a Full membership.

Competent Crew - Associate and Full Members

These rows are designed for people who have been certified as a competent rower by a supervising cox.

During these rows you will get to explore the beautiful Ouse estuary and also head out to sea.

All rowers must have completed a PARQ form and be a Full or Associate member.

Junior Members

These rows are designed for juniors aged 10-18 years.

All junior rowers must have completed a PARQ form and have approved parent or guardian consent.

Competent Crew - Full Members

These rows are designed for a longer session to take place to explore further afield and can be for around 4 - 5 hours long.

Adventures may take place up to Lewes and back or along the coast to Cuckmere or Brighton to see our beautiful Sussex countryside and coastline.

These events require stamina and an adventurous spirit!
