Other costs

During the Winter, the club hires the Wellsway School gym in Keynsham for circuit training. This takes place from 7pm until about 9pm and costs £2 per session for adults and £1 for juniors.

When the club goes to events, we also ask for a towing charge. This is currently £5 per person, per event (juniors £4) and is used to cover the cost of fuel for the person towing and the hire of a vehicle to do the towing if required.

You'll need to supply your own athletic clothing which should allow ease of movement and be warm enough for the time of year. We do have a supply of club clothing and there are several companies who sell rowing kit via mail order.

Safety

Membership of Avon County is open to anyone, provided they can swim at least 100 metres in light clothing.

The club's Safety Policy is available and we suggest you read this before coming to the club, for your own safety.
