The club – which hosts the only full regatta in Northern Ireland and one of the major regattas in Rowing Ireland’s calendar – are delighted to be hosting clubs from across the country at their latest event.
The clubs from across the depth and breadth of Ireland will descend on the Meadow Lane Boat Club headquarters this Saturday, May 2, to take part in the annual event.
It promises a packed agenda with the first competitors taking to the water at 8am.
There are perfect vantage points to view the 1k race along the towpath and river bank. The catering crew as always have on offer a buffet breakfast, lunch and BBQ for hungry rowers and visitors alike with lots to choose from.
