Coastal rowing Porty open days

THE EASTERN Amateur Coastal Rowing Club (the Eastern) are holding two open days in Portobello for anyone interested in trying the sport.

Coastal rowing has exploded in recent years with dozens of clubs springing up around Scottish coastal towns.

The Eastern is one of the most successful coastal rowing clubs and was the top ranked Scottish club at three successive world championships.

The open days are on Saturday 1 and 8 October from 10am to 2pm, meeting on the shore in front of Portobello Baths where prospective rowers will be taken out in 15 minute slots.
