Course Format:
We run our Introduction to Rowing 'Sculling 101' course over 3 x consecutive weekends (6 x lessons)...we will then look to offer a follow on Learn to Row 'Sculling 201' course for those who may be interested in a pathway to join the club (we only run the Sculling 201 course when we have membership capacity for novice rowers):
Timing: Saturday and Sunday, 9 - 11 am (6 x lessons)
Course Fee: $460 (incl GST - payable in advance)
Venue: North Shore Rowing Club, Lake Pupuke (1 Northcote Road, Northcote)
* Joining North Shore Masters Rowing Club (as a novice/new rower): our capacity to take on novice/new rowers in our membership is limited (due to the additional coaching/support required whilst new rowers gain experience), hence we will only run the follow on Learn to Row 'Sculling 201' courses when there is a pathway to membership …to join our club as a novice rower, you would need to have completed both Introduction to Rowing 'Sculling 101' course (3 weekends, 6 x lessons, $460) and Learn to Row 'Sculling 201' course (3 weekends, 6 x lessons, $460). All applications to join the club will then need to be approved by the NSMRC Committee (at Committee Meeting). If you are thinking that you might like to join NSMRC, we will be happy to discuss the new rower pathway with you once you have completed your Introduction to Rowing Sculling 101 course.
