Everyone loves a good ol’ East Coast Regatta! No better way to spend a Summer Sunday. Or the odd Saturday for that matter. But there’s more to rowing than our ECRC fixture list, with mid and long distance rowing races a healthy part of a balanced rowing diet! With that in mind, we put out the shout on our facebook page for suitable upcoming fixtures for 2017 from around the country and slightly further afield. Here’s what our page followers came back with.
