Clyde Amateur Rowing Club has inspired lifelong passion for the sport for many members. Clyde ARC is open to anyone interested in rowing, whether beginner or elite rower. Our membership includes rowers of all ages and levels of ability. Individual goals range from staying fit to competing in local, national or international regattas. Clyde ARC offers opportunities for persons with disabilities to learn to row and participate as recreational or competitive members.
As a not-for-profit organisation, Clyde Amateur Rowing Club is run by volunteers and governed by a yearly member-elected Committee. Clyde ARC's existence and success relies on the time and generosity of its members (and friends), as well as their commitment and enjoyment of rowing. Thank you for making Clyde ARC something to be proud of.
For club members who have registered with the webmaster, there are some additional resources on the website including the Constitution so that a full understanding of the way the club is run is available.
