A new area of water at Cleveland Lakes near Swindon and Cirencester will be holding an informal opening day for rowing clubs on Saturday 25 September. Clubs will be able to book a training session on the water and spectators will have a chance to see the venue.
Situated in the Cotswold Water Park, the lake has great potential, offering a 1,000m multi-lane regatta course with up to eight lanes, and is orientated south-west to north-east, reducing the chance of cross winds on the course.
The open day in September is primarily for clubs within easy travelling distance to the lake, who may wish to take advantage of rowing there for multi-lane training. As the venue becomes more fully established, there will also be for multi-lane events held on the course.
