Scottish Rowing is pleased to launch Project Rio. Project Rio is a series of resources and initiatives that have been developed to help clubs to cope with the additional demand that will be created in this Olympic year.

Details of the available resources and the three key elements are available in the Project Rio section under the Rio2016 menu on our website. We would encourage all clubs to make the most of this great opportunity to encourage new members and get more people rowing.

Project Rio is funded by Awards for All and delivered to clubs by Scottish Rowing.

We have received the following update from Glasgow Council on the situation with Polmadie Bridge.

"For your information the demolition works at Polmadie Footbridge are at present programmed to be completed in April 2016. The temporary works, to ensure the bridge is removed safely, are programmed to finish in the next few weeks and the demolition works will follow.

The demolition sequence will start on the Southern span and will continue in order to the Northern spans. Access to the river users up/down river may be possible after the Southern river span has been demolished (expected around the beginning of March) but not before"

We will publish any further updates when we receive them.
