The Red Shed is now under construction on Black Mountain Peninsula to provide “Rowing for All”.As part of the Black Mountain Rowing Club Inc, Red Shed will provide a world class training amenity to the existing BMRC membership, but more importantly, it will enable BMRC to deliver rowing programs and associated activities and events to a wide range of community groups that until now have had no or limited access to the joy and benefits of this sport.The programs will be open to all, with specific programs for:<ul><li>Public School students – there is limited access to students not attending elite secondary schools. The focus will be on learning the skills to enable rowing for life</li><li>Tailored Learn-to-Row programs for adults</li><li>Indigenous Rowing Programs – working with local Indigenous Groups, we hope to bring a strong representation into the Club and give indigenous youth and adults the opportunity to take rowing as far as they desire</li><li>Menslink and mental health programs – working with local support groups, we will offer inclusive programs to support those going through challenging times</li><li>Mums with Bubs - getting new mothers back into fitness and the community with on-site child minding and group meetings</li><li>Special Needs and Mental Disability Programs – working with local groups such as Project Independence, we will have equipment and coaches to develop new skills and interests.</li><li>Para trainees –providing the basics for athletes on the path to the elite level programs</li><li>Corporate Rowing Programs –providing great opportunities to build bonds within the work environment.
