Want to learn to row?
At Falmouth Gig Club we teach people to row gigs, from scratch, all year round.
​
From early May until late September, our 'Novices' sessions (ages 16 and over) are on Wednesdays at 6pm. Through the winter months they move to Saturdays at 11am. (We are currently running on the winter timings). Sessions usually last 60-90 minutes. No prior rowing experience is needed!
You do not need to sign up beforehand to say you’re coming, just turn up!
Come along to the gig shed at the Watersports Centre (underneath the Windjammer) for an introduction to gig rowing. You'll be given instruction from an experienced coxwain, and no prior experience is needed. Your first session is free then it costs £2 a session for the following 5 sessions, after that we ask you to join as a member if you wish to continue.
You don't need any special gear. Most people just wear comfortable clothing appropriate to the weather and trainers.
If you enjoy the rowing, you can join the club as a member. We have excellent facilities, lots of top rowers and coaches, and a huge amount to offer in both competitive and non-competitive rowing.
