Welcome to Berkshire Community Rowing
President’s Message:
We had a very busy April. Many people devoted their time and effort to help organize and repair the dock. And we finally got most of it in the water on boathouse opening day. Thank you everyone who participated. As of May 1, we have a shortened dock, and I know we will all cooperate to get boats out as efficiently as possible. We will continue to extend the dock as we repair and add more pieces to it. Of course, since it was April in the Berkshires, it snowed the day after boathouse opening. That delights me! We will be rowing on the water soon enough!
BCR Committees:
We need active, focused committees, and we need you to be an active, focused committee member.
As committee members, we reduce the burdens on the board, we bring specialized expertise, we get things done, and we provide consistency and build institutional knowledge. Check out the presentation Connell McGrath gave at the annual meeting March 18th for details. It’s here.
So . . . volunteer for a BCR Committee of your choice and drive BCR forward!

Berkshire Community Rowing (BCR) offers rowing experiences and coaching for people of all ages. We row in individual and team boats, for both recreation and competition. Since 1995, our not-for-profit organization has helped hundreds of people discover their ability to move a shell through the water, or rediscover their love of this. The Berkshire Community Rowing boathouse is located within Burbank Park at Onota Lake, off Valentine Road in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
