WITH its access to the River Thames, Bexley is ideally situated for a sport such as rowing.

Now Erith Rowing Club, with its headquarters right on the Thames, together with Bexley Council and London Youth Rowing are running a programme of physical activity aimed at 11 to 18-year-olds, which will lead to “on water” rowing.

The Learn2Row courses are taking place at the Danson Park Watersports Centre based in Danson Park, Welling, all week from July 26 and from August 2 to August 6.

For details of the courses and prices call the centre on 020 8303 2828, or email watersports@bexley.gov.uk
