The High Point-Greensboro Rowing Club will celebrate its 6th birthday on Saturday, September 8 with a Bridge to Bridge Time Trial for club members followed by a potluck breakfast at Oak Hollow Lake. Joining the festivities for the first time will be rowers from the newly formed Winston Salem Rowing Club.
Students will be boated by their class year and masters by age.
Families and friends are invited to join the rowers for the potluck brunch after the boat races.
The club has much to celebrate after 6 years, with a record number of rowers joining the Masters program for adults and the scholastic program for students from public and private schools across the Triad.
Last year 11 eight-man crews as well as some smaller boats lined the start of the race course at Skeet Club Bridge to race the full extent of Oak Hollow Lake to Johnson Street Bridge and club founder Gene Kininmonth predicts there could be even more crews this year.
All rowers participating in the Crew’s 6th Anniversary Boat Races should arrive at Oak Hollow Lake by 7:30am and be dressed appropriately for the weather on the day. Rowers and families should park on the grass behind the sailboats. A Signup Genius email will be sent to all members and parents with details of the potluck.
Boys and girls attending any Triad area school (Grade 6 -12) are eligible to join the team. No experience necessary. Email Coach Gene contact@highpointrowing.com or see the Registration page for details.
