Skylark IX Community Rowing

Rowing once played an important part in Dumbarton. The town was home to a successful club and hosted a number of high profile racing events. Sadly, local interest began to decline around 1925.
With the launch of our two new skiffs, we are working hard to re-establish a strong rowing presence in Dumbarton.
 
Would you like to get involved with coastal rowing?
We are looking for new rowers to join our project.

Not a rower, but still want to get involved?
We are also looking for support in lots of different roles too.

Skylark IX Community Rowing are looking for people of all ages, regardless of previous experience, to help us keep our community rowing project going strong. We are looking for experienced rowers, total beginners, and even those who would rather stay on dry land!

 
We are also looking for people to help support our community rowing project in other ways, such as fundraising, marketing, skiff maintenance and most importantly, towing the skiffs to and from rowing sessions. We’re particularly keen to hear from people who have any skills, experience or just plain enthusiasm that might lend itself to the project. Sound like you? Come and see what we’re all about!
 

We use a club management app called Spond to keep in touch with everyone about upcoming rowing events. If you are interested in hearing more about the rowing club, please get in touch by emailing [email protected]
