A small but perfectly formed squad of rowers ventured to the south of Scotland in Dumfries and Galloway. As with all grass roots club regattas this year, Nithsdale Regatta had quite a low entry this year but it was a hugely enjoyable day with good weather and close racing.
GRC had a very successful day with most participants getting event medals. Our Nov Women won their first regatta race as a coxed quad. We also won the Open Coxless Quad after suffering a major technical issue where steering became nigh on impossible from early in the race. Mixing squads, the Womens Nov 2x drove the boat home in 1st place in a hotly contested field. And finally, joining with Rebecca from Stirling Rowing Club, She and Mhari brought home a medal for the Womens Open 2x.
Half of the open quad came home 2nd in the R2 2x against strong opposition. As did the Womens Quad and the Mixed Quad being beaten by stronger opposition on the tight and bendy course.

The sun came out and regatta season kicked off in style with Clyde Power Sprints on 20th April. Glasgow Rowing Club had a strong presence on the course with entries in multiple events.
First on the water were Cameon and Dan in ONov 2x. They put in a good effort but lost out to the more experienced crew from Castle Semple.
We then had our first guaranteed medal in ONov 1x where it was GRC vs GRC. Ruairi came away with the win this time against Rylan. Will we see a rematch later in the season..?

Last weekend, 23 members of the club headed up North to Inverness for the Caley Marina Fours and Small Boats Head 2023. With 4 divisions of racing, approximately 150 boats in each division and most clubs in Scotland (plus Tees from the North of England) attending, it’s the largest time trial race in Scotland.

Joe and Katie recently travelled to Turin, Italy to compete in an International Mixed Ability Sporting event (IMAS). They competed with adaptive rowers from Stratford upon Avon, Ross on Wye and Cork against atheletes for the host club Armida, other areas of Italy, Spain and Portugal.
As well as enjoying the event, they managed to pick up some international silverware (medals). Joe won Silver in the Quad, Silver in the Double and Bronze in another Quad. Katie won Gold in the Quad and Silver in both the Double and her Single.
Amazing achievements from two excellent athletes and GRC representatives.
