An Active Schools Programme took place this summer over four Wednesdays with some 50 youngsters being given a taste of Coastal Rowing in one of our boats.

On 1st July the Tighnabruich Gala and Kyle’s Boat Launch took place. One of our boats was in attendance with a number of supporters.

As you will see from the gallery photos they enjoyed every aspect of this great event including meeting Princess Anne who opened the Championships.
