The pool Come and Try session planned for Monday 19th Feb has been postponed a week to Mon 26th Feb.
Please keep an eye on the website for updates.
New Rowing Pontoon Operational
The new Rowing club pontoon is complete and will be usable from Wed 6th September 2023. We can now return to normal river paddling
No Access to the River from the Club Shed (Jun-Aug 2023)
Work is commencing on the new rowing club pontoon from that start of June. The current pontoon is in bad need of repair and this is part of a much broader improvement plan. It is envisaged that this will take up to three months to complete the new pontoon (?mid / end of Aug). We are also hoping that after this work may commence on our club’s pontoon and get it back into action.
We will look to organise other paddling events over this period, so keep an eye out. Also come along to the UQ Pool on Monday nights to keep up some paddle skills (eg polo).
Story Bridge Paddle back on
The Story Bridge paddle was to be rescheduled, but is now back on the original date (this Weekend Sat 1st April).
Please register now.
Access to the Shed Showers and Toilets Returns!
At last we have a key to the showers and toilets.
They have been restored after the floods.
This will be available from the desk in the shed (please return! 🙂
Those pre- uni/ work/ morning paddles just became easier.
River Access returns
UQ has repaired the rowing shed pontoon.
Members can now use this to access the river for river paddling.
No Access to UQ Pontoons
The club pontoon has been out of action since the floods and we have been using the adjacent Rowing Club pontoon. UQ Sport has now informed us that the rowing club pontoon is currently unavailable for use as it has developed a structural issue.
This means there is currently no access to the river from the shed, and this affects all clubs that use them. We are hoping to hear more from UQ Sport soon as to how long we will not have direct river access and what alternatives may become available.
