A local Pilot Gig in North Somerset are holding a taster morning on Saturday June 17 between the times of 9am-12pm.

Portishead Gig Club, who were set up in 2017, are inviting anyone over the age of 12 to come and join the day with no experience needed.

Anyone is welcome to come along for the morning to discuss and find out what gig rowing is all about. 

Portishead are also in need of volunteers, who might be able to help them tow our boats, maintain their growing fleet or help organise their logistics. 

The club are based in the sheltered waters  at Portishead Marina, near Parish Wharf and Bottelinos.

Portishead would love to grow their squad of junior rowers. It is open to anyone who is 12 and over and interested in the sport.
