I am sure we are all missing what is the highlight

I am sure we are all missing what is the highlight of the year for Ross Rowing Club, our fantastic annual Regatta. We would have been in full swing, boats on the river and rowers milling around, commentaries on the racing, teas being served in the tea tent, umpires enjoying their lunches, queues at the bar, the sound of the finish bell!

Sadly it is not happening this year, but let us all enjoy a drink together (socially distanced of course) on the President’s Lawn, as the bar and BBQ (first come first served delicious burgers) will be open tomorrow, Monday Bank Holiday from 12 midday. #rossonwye #rossregatta #riverwye #bankholidaymonday #oneclub #goross #bbq #beer #cider #wine #icecream

Ross Regatta 1978. No regatta this year and what a year it’s been with two big floods and COVID-19. Our AGM is on 17th September at 7.00pm on Zoom. Thank you to all the members who have stepped up to take on club roles in these challenging times. #oneclub #goross #rossregatta #riverwye #rossonwye #lovewhereilive #loverowing #iwillsurvive

This is Our outdoor Pop-up Beer Garden and Wine Bar.
The trial opening of the bar on Friday and Saturday evenings for campers, members, friends and family, from 17.30, was a great success last week. Lovely to see many friends and supporters. So it was open again this weekend with the added bonus of Nicky Wild behind the bar.
The bar is in the car park, in front of the Chalet, with tables and chairs at a safe distance on the President’s Lawn, complete with marquee. Parking will be in the field. The outdoor ablution block is available for use.

There is a selection of beer, lager, wine and soft drinks, also crisps and ice cream! Bring your own glass or buy an RRC one for £1.00.

Payment is contactless via the card machine, no cash taken.

We ask that you please use the hand gel provided on entering, and we need to record your contact details to comply with Government guidelines.

Please support our venture! See you there! #oneclub #comingbacktolife #nicetoseeyou #camping #rowing #riverwye #rossonwye

This week, Scudamore 8 and three quads back from repair after damage in February floods. The boat house was so flooded they hit the rack above! Now we row 2 at a time, socially distanced in singles and doubles with no clubhouse or facilities yet. Ironically, the river is so low with lack of rain, we’d damage bigger boats on the #riverwye #keepgoing #oneclub #goross #rossonwye *

UPDATE: Ross Rowing Club has been closely monitor

UPDATE:

Ross Rowing Club has been closely monitoring the Governments guidance and statements from British Rowing in regards to Ross Regatta 2020. After our discussions with various parties we have had to make the very difficult decision to CANCEL ROSS REGATTA 2020. This decision wasn’t easily made by the committee but it is for the safety of all our competitors and visitors. If it becomes possible to hold intra-club races (Phase D), or local inter-club private matches (Phase E), we will endeavour to organise a suitable event at short notice. Please keep an eye out on our social media for this.
We look forward to bringing a bigger regatta for 2021. We hope you all are keeping safe and well during these difficult times and we will see you all again in 2021. Please SHARE around your clubs. Ross Regatta Team P.S: Get those Dragon boat teams ready for 2021

We have been overwhelmed with the support we have

We have been overwhelmed with the support we have received from you all. We also can't thank the rowing community enough for all your kind donations.
If you haven't already you can read our story here: www.virginmoneygiving.com/fund/RRCfloodrecovery

Ross Rowing Club (RRC) is an integral part of Ross on Wye. Our junior squad (made up of children from across the county from non-rowing state schools) competes at national level and is very well known across the country, with some children now on the GB training programme. We attract a membership of all ages with a significant proportion being of retirement age who gather daily for both physical exercise and social integration. Our camping facilities attract tourism to the town and our annual fundraising regatta, one of the largest in the country, brings to the town 1000s of competitors and spectators.
This has all been jeopardised though by the recent extensive flood damage to the club as a result of the historic river levels.
As a community group and charitable society, Storm Dennis has left us without the key supporting infrastructure required to operate effectively. With no social facilities/bar, changing rooms, loos, warm shelter etc there is a significant economic impact on our fundraising activities (such as the regatta and camping) that may threaten the future of the club.
We are going to struggle to sustain the club (founded in 1870) and retain its community group cohesion and reputation without some assistance with its recovery.

Huge congratulations to Ryan Stanley, our Men’s
