Wanaka Rowing Club Wanaka Rowing Club started in 2007. Four years on the club has over 100 members and has gained 12 National Schools titles and 10 South Island masters titles. Run on a voluntary basis, a number of people and local business have been crucial to the club. All have contributed mightily and we welcome anybody who may wish to help out either at the front end or behind the scenes. Our next big challenge is
to confirm our new club house location alongside the lake. This is not so simple in Wanaka but if we are to grow a lakeside base is essential. It’s difficult to carry boats 400 metres and cross a main road to the lake, especially for our smaller juniors carrying boats back after a hard training session can be soul destroying! Although we love our temporary home in the A & P woolshed, it is now too small to accommodate
The rowing club’s current HQ
us and offers no room for indoor training in bad weather. We are expanding and need more space. Now we are faced with the dilemma that unless we are able to secure a club house closer to the lake, what will be the future be for rowing in Wanaka? If you can support us in any way please contact Marg Galloway, club secretary on 443 7749 or visit our website: wanakarowingclub.co.nz
