Rowing Fees

Fees for the 2021/22 season are as follows:

School Rower (13+)	$1,850.00	includes Summer Camp & Regatta fees
Coxswains	$650.00	includes Summer Camp & Regatta fees
Club Athlete (18+)	$900.00	includes Regatta fees but not Summer Camp
Masters (27+)	$620.00	Summer Camp & Regatta fees not included

These fees apply for the rowing season as a whole. Typically the rowing season starts in full in October each year and carries through to March. It is through this period the majority of our costs are incurred.

Fees include the following costs:

• Affiliation fees with Rowing New Zealand
• Affiliation fees with Bay of Plenty Rowing Association
• Coach & rowing boat insurance & maintenance
• Fuel for coach boats
• Maintenance on gym equipment
• General expenses on our building (security, wifi, power, gas, cleaning, insurance)

Unfortunately we cannot provide any family discounts for second sibling membership. We are a non-profit organisation and pass on all costs to our members. For instance we won't receive a discount on your affiliation fees from our governing bodies for a second sibling membership.

The Committee will consider fee discounts for financial hardship on a case by case basis.

All Q&A marked with one of these * is stuff we've gotta know.
