On Friday 3rd April we will be holding the club’s annual dinner at The Eaton Hotel on the Hagley Road.
Ticket prices are £30 (£20 for juniors), this includes a 3 course meal (menu to be posted soon) with after dinner coffee, and a DJ. We will have access to our own part of the bar all evening.
The event is black tie, so it’s a great chance to dust of those posh frocks and dancing shoes!

Generally there’s no rowing on these days, but if you’re early then you can get an outing in before the sailors come out to play. Please come straight off the water the moment they start launching.
