Joining GRC
New
Never rowed before
If you have never rowed before, or consider you need a refresher in the basics of rowing, you should first join our Learn To Row program.
After completing a Learn to Row course, you will be able to apply to become a member of GRC, and be part of a crew or row in a single.
We run ergometer and on-water Learn to Row courses during the months of Feb-May and July-August each year.
Experienced
Returning to rowing
The club is currently close to capacity so we may not be able to take on new members. However, if you have already rowed and we have space, you can have a chat with our Club Captain (E: captain@gleberowingclub.org.au) who might organise for you to come down to the Club, meet other members and assess your rowing ability.
It’s best to contact us between July and October before the regatta season gets busy and when it is easier for us to fit you into squads.
Prospective members are invited to have three rows at the Club before they must apply for membership. A fee of $10 per row is payable for these first three rows.
Programs
Take it to the next level.
After you join, you are free to book a boat and row when you like. If you want to join a squad, our current squads are organised in Casual rowers; Grade and Masters Men; Grade and Masters Women and Junior Boys and Girls (novice and elite).
For juniors, we also run a summer rowing holiday program. This is open to members and non-members aged 13-18yo.
If you have any questions you can have a chat with our Club Captain (E: captain@gleberowingclub.org.au)
