The new WSP begins on the 1st April 2013 - this will mean a restructure of how staff and resources are organised, more information on the 'Meet the Team' page for what this means for the South West.
Explore Rowing Pioneer Club funding
In March / April 2013, Flushing and Mylor gig club were successful in securing funding to become an Explore Rowing Pioneer Club. The club have formed a strong partnership with Truro and Penwith College for this project which will see great rowing opportunities for 16-19 year olds in the county. This funding has allowed the club to purchase two new gigs: Flushing and Mylor. The club will work with the college to offer learn to row courses for their students who will then be signposted towards their local gig club.

Cornwall School Games gig competition
For the third year running gig rowing has been included in the Cornwall School Games. 21 crews of 6 rowers from a number of schools across the county headed to Mylor on the 3rd July to compete for their schools. Each of these schools linked to a local club who helped prepare the teams and also coxswained on the day. That's 126 young people competing on the water. The day was ran in partnership with Cornwall Sports Partnership, British Rowing, the CPGA and local clubs. A huge amount of volunteer support was needed to make this a success, so huge thanks to all those involved!
