Established in May 2010 Bideford Pilot Gig Club aim was to provide a easy going social feel to gig rowing whilst still being able to be focus and competitive competing in regattas. If you are new to gig rowing or would like to give it a try please get in contact with us and we would be glad to get you out on the water, please bring with you:
Wellington boots
A Change of shoe (Hard soled for rowin
g in)
Layers (it can get cold out on the water quickly)
A Drink. You can find us at the overflow car park of bank end car park by Bideford rugby club, we launch the boat using bank end's public slipway. We will usually be out on the water 1 hour or so either side of high tide on Saturdays and Sundays and when the light and tides allow weekday evenings. On the odd occasion we may launch from Appledore but this will be publicised in advance. Please contact us first before turning up as we may not be out due to tide conditions, weather conditions and crew numbers. Beware the car park is a pay and display car park which runs 8am to 6pm 7 days a week. We as a club are currently trying to raise funds for a new gig boat so that we can become more competitive at regattas.
