Membership Information

FWRC equipment consists of recreational single sculls, race trainer sculls, elite single sculls, recreational double sculls, elite double sculls and quadruple sculls. Several members have their own boats and row on water near their homes, while other members store their boats at the Beach Street boathouse.

The FWRC has about 75 or so members. The Club is governed by a six member executive committee that includes Committee Chairman for Membership, Activities, Boathouse, Treasurer, Vice President and President. These officers are elected each year at the Annual Meeting and are listed on our Contact page.

Experienced rowers wishing to join or row with the Club should contact the Membership Chairman or the Boathouse Manager.

Fees for boat storage are based on boat seats.  Storage of more than one boat requires only one membership; Membership + delta store + delta store.  Boat storage is intended for rowing/sculling boats.  Any other storage has lower priority than rowing/sculling boats and may not be renewed. 

Delayed membership dues and storage fees are calculated assuming no reduction for, April, May and June; 90% of April costs for July; 80% of April costs for August; etc., to March which will have 10% of April costs.
