    Following the assessment, we aim to provide you with a decision via email within one week.

    We understand that despite offering this opportunity to your child, they may wish, before or after the Open Day, to remain on the waiting list and join when a space becomes available to follow the standard progression.

    If your child is already an experienced rower trying to join the club, the open day is a fantastic opportunity to meet the coaches and ask any questions about our upcoming FastTrack Course or Performance Development Programme.

    Should you have any questions about the Open Day or have some trouble registering a place on Eventbrite please email lsegall@learc.org.uk. We're happy to help!
