INVERCARGILL ROWING CLUB

This is the 60th year of our club's garden fertiliser fundraising event.
It is great to see the participation from our members and supporters, delivering the advertising flyers, bagging fertiliser then delivering it on Saturday mornings. Well done and keep up the good work.👌

For those that have not already heard, there has been a change of date for the bagging of the super dirt at our 815 North Road fertiliser fundraiser depot. The bagging will now take place from 3pm on Wednesday the 19th of August 2026.

The Invercargill Rowing Club has had a very successful and rewarding 2025/26 rowing season and as a result collected many cups, trophies and certificates at the Southland Rowing Awards event held today in the Waihopai Rowing Clubrooms.

Well done to all our club members who contributed to this success and congratulations to our dual ABC/IRC club member Frank Dean for being recognised with the Administrator of the Year Trophy.

The Invercargill Rowing Club was proud to have hosted the 2026 South Island Adaptive Indoor Rowing Championship in its clubrooms yesterday.

It was a very successful event that everybody who attended enjoyed. A big thankyou to Dave Galbraith and Anne McKenzie, who both played a big part in organising the event and Frank Dean for presenting the races on the screen for the spectators.

I hope you enjoy the many photos taken at the event.

How can you not want to go for a row when the Oreti River is as flat as this?
