Autumn News

We’ve enjoyed some lovely autumn rows out of Port Isaac, making the most of the

opportunities to get out on the water. As the nights draw in, we’ll also have the option

of rowing from Rock.

A few weekends ago, some of our members embarked on an amazing hike over

Bodmin Moor, walking over 12 miles! It was a great way to kick off our winter

training, when we train weekly off the water to keep our fitness up during the months

when there are fewer opportunities to get out rowing.

We’re also training some of our members to become coxswains, combining theory

with practical training on the water. This will be a great asset to the club, giving us

more coxswains able to take crews out on the water.

We’re delighted to be featured as a Co-op community cause! Our aim is to raise

funds for a lighter, more stable and accessible training boat, helping us offer year-

round inclusive rowing opportunities for young people and adults with mobility needs

in our community.

The new boat would help us welcome more beginners to rowing, giving people the

chance to learn new skills, enjoy our beautiful coastline, improve their wellbeing and

make new friends through this wonderful Cornish tradition.

If you’re a Co-op Member, please consider supporting Port Isaac Rowing Club as

your local cause. You can sign in to your Co-op account or become a Co-op Member

to find out more and support our project. Every bit of support helps us make rowing

more accessible to our community.

Upcoming fundraising events

We have two fundraising events coming up!

Bingo Night is on 26 October at Port Isaac Village Hall. Doors open at 6.30pm, with eyes down at 7.30pm.
