"The Amoskeag Rowing Club will kick off the season with its Learn-to-Row clinic June 1 from 9 a.m. to noon.This free clinic, part of the U.S. Rowing Association\u2019s National Learn-to-Row Day, gives people an opportunity to get a taste of what it\u2019s like to row on an indoor-rowing machine and on the water.Jen Edgecomb, a member of the Board of Directors of ARC, hosts a number of events each summer aimed at getting people interested in the sport of rowing.\"We will also be hosting an open house so people can view our boathouse and rowing equipment,\" she said.They have several junior and adult Learn-to-Row programs beginning in June. Beginners of all ages, from 12 to 70 and over, can take classes that meet their rowing level, age and interests.\"It\u2019s never too early or late to take up the sport. In fact, about half of the members of ARC had never rowed before and learned the sport in one of the club\u2019s instructional programs,\" she said.ARC was founded in 1982 and has been growing ever since.The boathouse is located just behind the Hooksett District Court at 110 Merrimack Street in Hooksett.The club has also helped found rowing programs at numerous area colleges and high schools, several of which -- Southern New Hampshire University, Manchester High School Central, The Derryfield School and Bedford High School -- still row out of ARC\u2019s boathouse.19003418\"We also hold the New Hampshire Championship Regatta every fall on the Merrimack River in Pembroke,\" Edgecomb said.The NHCR is the largest New England rowing event north of Boston. It attracts more than 2,000 athletes rowing nearly 400 boats (singles, doubles, fours, quads, and eights). Clubs, colleges, high schools, prep schools, and a few grade schools from all over New England and New York send teams to compete in this three-mile raceIf you are interested in learning more about the club and its offerings, visit www.amoskeagrowing.org."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
