The Margaret River Rowing Club invites the local community to attend a free Open Day on Sunday October 23, 2022.
Members of the Club and the public are welcome to attend the Open Day which will commence at 11am and finish around 2pm, at the Club House on the banks of the Margaret River off Wallcliffe Road, near Wallcliffe House.
The Open Day will allow both existing members and prospective members to test out the watercraft at their leisure, and to compete in some fun events including sit-top kayak races, a stand-up-paddleboard slalom challenge and even a ‘dog on a SUP’ race for pooches in attendance. Prizes are on offer the winning competitors.
Children are welcome, as are dogs on leads. A sausage sizzle and soft drinks will be provided free of charge, and the Club recommends that people bring a hat, sunscreen and water.
The purpose of the event is to raise awareness of the Club, introduce people to the premises and to demonstrate the watercraft available for use for members which includes single and double kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and rowing boats in the form of single, double and quad sculls.
Although the Club currently does not offer Learn to Row courses, those interested in learning to scull are welcome to use the training scull with outriggers with a view to progressing to the professional sculls.
Membership for the Margaret River Rowing Club is currently priced at $100 per year.
Limited parking will be available off Wallcliffe Road at the entrance to the ruins of Wallcliffe House; signage will be erected on the day. There is a five-minute walk down to the clubhouse down a pedestrian access way.
