Nankersey Rowing Club (formerly Flushing Rowing Club)
In July 2008, four like minded residents of the small village of Flushing, Cornwall, decided to bring rowing back in the community of Flushing. Together we purchased a Flashboat 'Kernow' from Calstock Rowing Club. This produced much interest in the village and we were approached by a resident who offered a substantial donation, enabling us to purchase our own Cornish Pilot Gig 'Circe' from Truro River Rowing Club.
The boats were refurbished by a small band of enthusiastic members under the guidance of local resident Malcolm Fairweather and repainted in club colours of blue and white.
The boats are now kept at Windsport, Mylor Harbour and winter rowing takes place every Saturday and Sunday morning with rowing also taking place on Wednesdays and Fridays during the day according to the tides. Rows can be booked on our Rowing Calendar ensuring you are able to row at a time and day convenient to you. (On joining the club, you are given access to the calendar)..
Swans on River Fal - the inspiration behind our logo..
We have a 'Try Before You Buy' system which entitles you to four rows before you become a member - just to make sure you like it first! We hope this new project will enable residents of Flushing and the surrounding area, old and young alike, to row, increasing health and fitness whilst having fun and enjoyment within the marine environment, also ensuring that the village of Flushing has a community based organisation which can be used by All and which can continue to grow with the support from like minded residents.
Our name has been amended from Flushing Rowing Club to Nankersey Rowing Club (the old Cornish name for Flushing) to accommodate neighbouring clubs in the area - we are however the same club! Come and join us for a row....
SUMMER ROWING TAKES PLACE ON TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY EVENINGS AND SATURDAY AND SUNDAY MORNINGS
