Alumni

If you are a former member of Wellington Rowing Club and would like to retain a connection with committing to a full membership, an alumni membership is for you.

Aims of the alumni programme

  • To allow past rowers to continue to be associated with the club without having to commit to a full season of rowing.
  • ​​​​​​​To offer ways for previous members of the club to support current rowers through scholarships, funding of equipment, or through coaching development and pathway programmes

Benefits

As an Alumni member you will receive:

  • A newly designed WRC lapel “pin”
  • An annual function specifically for Alumni members (Open Day, September).
  • BBQ or dinner with other activities surrounding. This can also involve getting on the water for a paddle if wished.
  • A specific Alumni section in the WRC newsletter. Issues will highlight specific Alumni and include photos.
  • A full list of Alumni members and register of contact details will be maintained.
  • Discounts for merchandise that is showcased in the newsletter and on the website.
  • Ability to join Masters for a row (usually Sunday mornings)

In addition, Alumni Life Members will receive:

  • A copy of the Dolly Varden book
  • An annual invitation to come along to a Wellington regatta of your choice, as a guest of WRC.
