St Andrew named Club of the Year 2024
St Andrew Boat Club has been named Club of the Year at the Scottish Rowing Awards 2024. The judges recognised the club’s place right at the centre of its local community along with the great performance of athletes from right across all our squads.
At the announcement, made during the Scottish Rowing AGM, the submission for the award was read out, which highlighted that the club’s size has increased considerably to now about 180 members – a growth that has been made possible by a dedicated group of volunteers who coach and run sessions for experienced rowers, but also Learn to Row courses both for children and adults.
It went on to say that not only has SABC seen unparalleled success at regattas, the club has also established a regular diary of rowing sessions and events for rowers of all ages who are less experienced or not interested in racing. This includes the club’s “Monkey Games”, which see beginners and juniors race with seniors and masters rowers in quads, boosting community spirit in the club and a sense of belonging even in the most inexperienced beginner.
