Information for members

Guide for New Members

​

This is a brief guide for new, and some not so new members, to help you find all the information you need to enjoy the sport we all love.  To keep this document to a minimum size, more information can be found throughout the website on most topice.

​

General

​

• History – TwRC has a long and interesting history.

• Club officers – you will find a list of Club officers here.  Don’t hesitate to ask any of them for help or advice you may need: in relation to the club or rowing generally.​

Equipment

​

• Boat Fleet – we have information on the Club’s fleet of rowing boats in our About us section.  Please make use of the boat booking system, currently operating through FitClub.  Part of the fleet is allocated to specific squads.  However, certain boats may be booked generally.  These are indicated as ”Club” boats.

• Blades – club-owned blades are all stored in racks located at the rear of the external boat shed. The blades stored elsewhere, in the singles bay of the main boathouse and in the gym area, are private.

• Shoes – the Bat Logic shoe system has been rolled out through the squads, requiring rowers to purchase their own shoes and Bat Logic plates. Back plates can be purchased through LoveAdmin while shoes can be purchased through the club or independantly.

• Ergo Room and Gym – is available to all members.  However, at scheduled times squad training is given priority, with general usage available subject to sufficient space.​​

Other​

​

• Twickenham Regatta takes place each May and is always a great success thanks to the support and hard work of the Regatta Committee and our many volunteers.  The Regatta is run autonomously from the Club though members constitute most of the Regatta Committee.  The Regatta Committee is keen to find new members from Club Membership to participate in the planning and operation of the future regattas.

• Social events include the regular Wednesday evening club nights and Friday evening bar as well as the Annual Club Dinner in December.

• Social media:  Facebook group; Club Instagram
