Social session times for 2026:<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Saturday from 9am<\/strong> – spaces in both boats are bookable via the Spond app<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday from 1pm<\/strong> \u2013 spaces in both boats are bookable via the Spond app<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summer only: Tuesdays and Thursdays 6pm-8pm<\/strong>. These sessions begin usually in April and finish in October, dictated by sunset times. Booking a seat as above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All rowing is subject to tides, weather, or the boats being away at an external event.  Additionally, members will often organise morning or afternoon outings via the group email or WhatsApp, after booking a boat by emailing
bookaboat@queensferryrowing.org<\/a>. Note that a Skipper (ie, a responsible person or RP) is required for every row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you would like to join us, come down to the club hut at Port Edgar (click on About Queensferry Rowing Club\u00a0<\/a>for directions) to join one of our social sessions, please contact\u00a0 Fiona McIntosh (membership@queensferryrowing.org<\/a>) before your first session to ensure it is on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A typical social rowing session<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Race training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Race training sessions are held on Saturdays at 8am (and sometimes 7am!), Sundays at 10.30am, and Wednesdays at 6pm – again the timings depend on tides, weather and the time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The training sessions focus on technique and stamina, and can be very demanding physically. You’ll learn to perform a racing start and racing buoy turns. A typical regatta race is 2km long – pretty much the distance between the Forth Road Bridge and the Forth Bridge and back. We will sometimes row a longer course to build up stamina. If that sounds like your cup of tea, contact Sharon to be included: sharonqueensferryrowing@gmail.com. Booking for places in sessions is via the Spond app<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A regular race training session for our youth rowers is held on Sundays at noon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
