Veteran squad
Minerva Bath rowing club boasts a large number of veteran rowers, helped mainly due to the inclusion criteria encompassing anyone over the age of 27. We have an increasing number of crews regualrly competing at both regional and national regattas. 2010 saw success at the National Championships in the Masters D 1X, G8+, 1x and H4+, along with a win at Henley vets in both the H4- and G8+ against a crew from the States.
Throughout the year there is a gents Sunday outing in our new Vespoli 8. The group is mixed age wise, but is predominantly more experienced rowers. We are also lucky to benefit from coaching from some of the club's Level 2 coaches.
Always strong supporters of the Alkmaar exchange, last year the group took their racing to the wide long canals of Holland and sampled dutch hospitality and large quantities of Amstel along the way. We also compete in races locally, notably the Bristol Avon Head in March and regatta in May.
If you are interested in taking part, drop me an email by clicking on my picture and we will try to fit you in - we are also very keen to hear from anyone who fancies coxing...
The veteran women have integrated into the women's squad and continue to give the 'youngsters' a run for their money in the open events.
