THE SCULLERY
The Trustees believe that encouraging young people to take part in regular physical exercise is beneficial for them and for society as a whole. Sculling is thriving in clubs and schools but the event calendar does not yet meet the increasing demand for sculling. Efforts are therefore focussed on providing more opportunities for racing, either by running events or by supporting others that do.
