Back in 2018 when Mixed Ability Rowing was in its infancy at BARC, we hosted an Italian rower, Enrico Colzani, who took a trip or two in a quad on the Aire. Enrico was visiting International Mixed Ability Sports and was keen to get BARC MA rowers to a regatta at the Societa Conttieri Armida […]

One of the things you report as a valuable part of your BARC membership is the social interaction we all enjoy. To facilitate this during the ongoing situation the Committee have organised some “gather together apart” sessions, which will happen as groups continue go out onto the water. Bring a chair or a blanket and […]
