In conjunction with British Rowing, several of the rowing clubs on the South Coast are putting on rowing taster sessions for children who have never tried the sport before during the Easter holidays and beyond.  These will be free of charge, last around 60 minutes, require no prior experience and give children a chance to try the sport. 

KS4 are invited to participate in Teen Book Reviewer.
