Regattas and Training Camps

The rowing calendar records the dates/locations of the camps and regattas for the season. Changes may occur due to weather or logistical reasons. The rowing calendar is issued out to parents at the beginning of every season. 

Additional camps may be organised for certain squads. These could be one-day trips or weekend trips. Generally, day trips are not listed because they depend on the weather.
