We are a friendly, easy-going group of people who love rowing! The Grateful Oars Rowing Club is a member of the United States Rowing Association . The Grateful Oars have been "sweeping" Norwood Lake in northern New York since 1997. The club's members row an eight, two fours, and a pair, rowing for fun and fitness, but some of the members enjoy racing. Grateful Oars Rowing Club teams have had excellent results in sprint and head racing in recent years, but most members are in it for the exercise and good fun. The club has scheduled rows most days of the week.
Our season begins when the weather permits, typically in mid-to-late April for eager rowers and mid-to-late May for everyone else. The end of the season is often dictated by the decrease in available light as the days grow shorter. Morning crews often row well into November or until such time as temperatures become uncomfortably cool.
Most crews row recreationally once each week at a set day and time. Individual club members may row on more than one crew and often substitute for one another when a rower must be absent. We welcome new rowers! more…
