East Flemish Rowing League

The League makes efforts to expand activities to other locations with the help of the Province, including the cities of Sint-Niklaas, Lokeren and Oudenaarde.

In Oudenaarde the rival towns of Ename and Eine organise an annual rowing meet featuring a race with eight men crews and also a ladies coxed fours race on the river Scheldt, near the bridge over the river between the two villages.

It is an initiative of twin brothers Benedicte and Frederic Dullaert, who were famous coxswains back in the 1990s of large Belgian national junior teams including on the World Juniors Championships Rowing in Poznań and also won a series of 8 consecutive national titles.

Meetings alternate among the respective club premises and the chairmanship of the East-Flemish Rowing League is shared according to a fixed rotation.

There are also two recreational boating trips including the Passage true Gent (Doortocht van Gent) via Graslei and Portus Ganda and the old Port of Ghent; the Golden River Rowing Trip through the picturesque art painters village of Sint-Martens-Latem; and the Deinze- Ghent cruise.
