We hope to have the landing stage finishes to enable sessions to take place over the summer.
We are going to install three containers on site one for rowing, one for racing, and one for polo and recreation.
The rowing section is rapidly Gathering a fleet of rowing boats thanks to generous donations from clubs across the country and British Rowing.
