No Headphones When Rowing - Safety Requirement

If you are accustomed to rowing around the Bay while listening to headphones: stop now. 

Representatives from GRC, Maritime, the marina, the barge operators and Outrigger and Dragon Boat clubs meet every quarter to discuss and resolve safety issues.  At the last two meetings, the barge operators have raised incidents where they reported two near misses and a collision due to rowers being unable to hear them as they were listening to headphones while rowing. 

If you wear earbuds while you row, stop now. Concentrate on rowing harder and more safely.

Current GRC COVID Rules

LTR course Sunday 21st February - No rowing after 7:30 am

Please avoid being in the shed between 8:30 - 11 am this Sunday.

We are in preparations to move LTR from Sundays to give members more time to row. However, we have to finish the current one, so, please, again leave the shed in time for the course.

Always looking for volunteers for LTR. We need people who can drive a tinnie or are happy to sit in a boat with our course participants.

Clean up Australia Day - 5th-7th March- Reminder

As a Club we will be pushing hard to get all our members to come down over the weekend 5th-7th of March to help clean up Blackwattle, Rozelle, and White Bays.
