Members Handbook: The Members Handbook is now available on the Club website under the Membership page https://taurangarowingclub.co.nz/members-handbook. This will be of particular interest to those new to rowing, or the club, but is also a good reminder to everyone of all things TRC and rowing.

Reminders for Members:

  • Personal Belongings: Please remove all personal items from the changing rooms promptly. Items left behind will be disposed of.
