Rowing Club Ball – Postponement – New Date for April 2021

The (provisional) new date for the ball is now Saturday 17 April, 2021 at the Racecourse. All tickets that have been purchased will be carried over to this event so there will be no need to re-book. Anyone wishing to return their ticket and claim a refund will be able to, details of how to do this will go out on classlist. Athletes, parents and supporters wishing to attend the ball who have not already purchased tickets will be able to purchase tickets from January onwards.

Rowing Club – Saturday 21 March
The rowing club will be closed from Saturday 21 March. We understand as a school what a major part rowing plays in all of our athletes daily lives; however, in the current climate, the welfare and well-being of our pupils is our top priority.
Please do keep an eye on the rowing website for regular updates. Athletes can access the remote training plan here: https://firefly.kingschester.co.uk/rowing/summer-2020
13 March – Rowing Club Update
Coronavirus Update – 13-03-20. Athlete & parent update.
We are working closely with the school and are following all the latest guidance from Public Health England (PHE) to prepare for the potential challenges the coronavirus outbreak could have for us over the coming months. This is one of the busiest times of the rowing year and it is likely that there will be a level of disruption to the “normal” rowing calendar.
Over the next week, the club has three major events – the North of England Head, Schools’ Head and the Sculling Head. We will be evaluating, in line with the best advice and guidance available at the time, our participation in these events and will ensure that clear and timely communication is in place to highlight any changes and amendments. With this in mind, please could I ask all rowers and parents to refer in the first instance to the rowing website for updates.
Thank you for your support.
