Our club always welcomes new and experienced rowers aged 11 and over.
We offer three free rows to anybody that is new to the sport. These rows will introduce you to the gig, basic rowing technique and of course some of our members.
Our adult members ages currently range from 18 yrs to 70+ yrs.
Many people ask ‘What should I wear?’ Well it’s best to wear layers that can be added/removed easily and not to wear heavy absorbent materials. Trainers or similar are suitable footwear.
If you would like to row please complete the details below and select the send button. A member will then be in touch.*
*We are hopeful of resuming taster sessions towards spring 2026. If you would like to be added onto a waiting list for taster sessions and to be contacted when sessions become available then please complete the form.
A Portland Gig Rowing Club Taster Session form will have to be completed prior to the first of your three free rows. The form will be forwarded to you but can also be found and printed from this website under the ‘Membership’ tab.
