Arran Coastal Rowing Club’s third skiff rowing regatta is on 22nd – 23rd June 2019 in Lamlash, at the pier.
PARTICIPATING CLUBS
Confirmed attendees:
Troon, Royal West, Prestwick, Islay, FOCCR (Largs), North Berwick, South Queensferry (using Arran’s skiff Iolair), Renegade and Carrick. Rowers from Cumbrae and Stranraer will also be attending but will not be bringing their own skiffs – their rowers will reinforce other participating clubs.
Portobello has sadly had to pull out for this year.
