Located near Barnes Bridge, opposite Barnes, W4. The clubs is a Ladies rowing club. Men can join as coxes or coaches and can use the clubs boats, but can not compete.
We are one of the smaller clubs on the tideway, but have a fantastic fleet of boats, from Sims Eights to a set of new Filippis (coxed 4, coxless 4, and 2x/-) as well as an Empacher single. We also have lots of Janousek boats in various sizes. All our boats are built for ladies, so no more size 13 shoes and having to drop the rigging before each outing.
Our aim is to strike a balance between training hard (and winning races!) and appreciating that people have full time jobs and social lives too.
The clubhose has a fully fitted out land training facility with 8 ergs and a range of weights and machines, as well as all the usual stuff to make life comfortable: such as a bar, a kitchen, large changing room, and a co-located mens rowing club called Cygnet. Our members are encouraged not to speak to the boys unless it is to ask them to help move heavy objects, man the BBQ or mow the lawn!
Our members range from age 22 to 62, height from 5’1 to 6’2. We have ex internationals through to complete beginners on our books.
All sounds like an ideal place to row and socialise ? – it is, so pop along and say hi.

OTHER INFO

Broxbourne Rowing Club was founded in 1847 and has since that date rowed the river Lea on the Hertfordshire / Essex border. The club caters for all rowing abilities from absolute beginners to those wishing to compete at Henley, and has large Veteran and Junior sections.
We are the only Rowing Club using our stretch of the River Lea, a Thames tributary, but in contrast to Thames conditions the river is calm and adverse conditions rare. Plans for refurbishment of our facilities (2009-10) are in place to provide excellent facilities to support our excellent fleet of boats. We are a sociable and friendly club aspiring to compete at the highest domestic level whilst supporting rowing for all.
The men's squad had been going from strength to strength over the past few years and we are looking to continue building on this. Notable achievements include qualifying crews for Henley for the previous six years. Last season we had a win in S2 2- at Pairs Head and enjoyed lot of success throughout the year in coxless fours including coming second in S2 at IV's head, a win at Marlow regatta, and pre-qualification for the Wyfold. We came 63rd in the 2008 VIIIs head.
The women’s squad has developed over the last few years welcoming a range of abilities and experiences. We are a friendly squad and are able to accommodate a range of rowing needs and desires. We have participated and performed well in many head races and regattas; highlights include winning the Provincial Pennant at WEHORR in 2008 and qualifying crews for Women’s Henley in recent seasons. We are looking to increase our squad size and competitive edge this season; aiming to perform well at IVs Head, again at WEHORR and qualify for Henley '10.
The Veteran’s squad has had successes this year with wins at Vesta Vets Head, Vet National Championships and Henley Veterans regatta. We welcome experienced veteran rowers and have plans to initiate a veteran novice squad for those wishing to start the sport.
Junior rowing at Broxbourne is the fastest growing section of the club. We have had a very successful season with several regatta wins in 2009.
Recreational rowing is also supported at Broxbourne and the calm waters and countryside surroundings of the River Lea provide a pleasant place to row.
Four week beginners courses are held 3-4 times per year, the next course starts on 26th Sept 2009, please contact the Captain for more details.

Located just over Barnes Bridge from the station, opposite Barnes, W4.
We have an active experienced squad, which trains 6-8 times per week. There is a large intermediate squad that will train with the experienced guys as of September 2009. We have a large novice squad that have all started after July 2009, training twice a week. There is also a good group of vets who train and compete as and when it suits.

Our active squad members have busy careers and family lives so we aim to have quality over quantity with training. The goal is to improve on last years HoRR standings for our 1st and 2nd boats, as well as enter a 3rd crew. Henley qualification is the goal for the top end of the club come summer, with all squad members competing in the head races and regattas, both on the Tideway and further afield. The target is for everyone who has put the time in to have a pot by the end of summer, regardless of their position in the squad.
One crew will be heading to the USA to compete in the Head of the Charles in October 2009, as well as multiple Cygnet/BBLRC boats heading over to Germany to race in the Rhine Marathon, our annual foreign escape, also in October 2009.

Curlew is a highly successful club in the Canary Wharf/Docklands/Greenwich area, with representatives at Henley for 10 of the last 11 years, as well as crews in the Nat champs and Women's Henley.
We are conveniently located for rowers who need to combine training with city jobs, the majority of our rowers work in either Canary Wharf or the city and find the Greenwich and Royal Docks training locations not just convenient but also top quality facilities.
The club regularly runs beginners courses and relies on a mix of our own home grown talent and experienced rowers to propel us to Henley and high places in the tideway heads. While the top end of the club is committed to training hard to achieve this success, we do appreciate that our athletes have jobs and lives elsewhere. We also have a warm and welcoming social side, leading to a very tight knit group of likeminded young people.
For the women's squad, we are looking to build on 2009's success, hoping to send two crews to Women's Henley and Nat Champs, as well as continuing to climb up the finish list in the Women's Head.
For the men's squad, we are expecting healthy competition for places. We aim to enter two crews at Henley 2010, and regain our place in the top 100 at the HORR.
Curlew is not just a great club for aspiring rowers, both experienced and novice coxes find our set up excellent too, with two highly experienced coxes who have both represented the club at Henley on the coaching staff. The club has an excellent record of developing these coxes, improving their coxing skills, and giving them the opportunity to move into coaching. There is plenty of scope to learn from the best, develop personal goals, and represent our crews at the country's top regattas.
Training takes place on weekday evenings and weekend mornings. For more details, and recent results, see our website.

Furnivall SC is a tightknit, friendly club, competitive from novice standard up to national level. Whatever your ambitions, age or ability, we will help you achieve your goals. The club has recently completed a major refurbishment programme, and now boasts a new erg room, women’s changing facilities, refurbished men’s changing facilities and new club room. One of our main aims at Furnivall is to cater for those who wish to dedicate the training time required for success in top-level competition. However, we accept that not all athletes have the time to commit to this level of training, and so we also offer opportunities to train and compete at a less serious level. Our various squads include:
Competitive Women’s Squad: Over the 09/10 season, this squad will look to build on successes from recent seasons, including wins at Women’s Henley, Nat Champs, and finalists in Henley Royal. We also have an enthusiastic IM3 group who are hoping to develop further this year.
Recreational Women’s Squad: This squad is for rowers who would like to row a couple of times per week, but who don’t have the time/inclination to commit to a land training programme.
Social Sculling Group: A fun loving group of scullers of different abilities and ages. Under the guidance of Hugh Bantin, the group organises regular weekly outings. The group also takes part in sculling tours abroad, most recently in Portugal and France. The group is willing to take on new scullers that have prior rowing experience.
Men’s Squad: From competitive scullers to veteran sweep rowers that row once a week, there are various opportunities to train. There is also a healthy-sized intermediate 3 group that learned to row over the last year and wanting to build on recent wins.
Novice Rowers: Please see our website for course updates.
Competitive Veteran Sculling group, run in collaboration with Auriol Kensington, which trains 3 times per week in the early mornings (Tues, Thurs, Sun). In the 2008/9 season this group achieved a number of wins at Vet B in small boats in the winter heads plus a win in Senior 4x at Metropolitan Regatta and qualified for the Prince of Wales cup at HRR.

Mortlake is a very friendly and successful club that caters for rowers of all abilities from Novices to GB Internationals.
Rowing Facilities
- Large fleet of boats comprising mostly Empachers and Janouseks, including an extensive fleet of small boats.
- Modern gym that is well equipped with free weights and machines
- During 2009/10 the Clubhouse is being completely overhauled to provide brand new changing facilities and Club rooms

The club has been highly successful over the past few years with athletes gaining international selection for the World Championships, Commonwealth Regatta and Home Countries. In the last two seasons the women’s squad has established itself as the top women’s club in the country, in terms of WHR, National Championships, HIR and Commonwealth representatives and winners, yet has still retained a personal and supportive atmosphere.
Our coaching team has a wealth of experience of coaching women’s light and heavyweight scullers and rowers and has established a robust and successful system that includes a highly successful development group. The senior men qualified for HRR in 2008 and prior to that they have finished National Championships with a medal-winning crew. There is an established novice and development group.

One of the friendliest clubs on the Tideway, we're located just upstream of Chiswick bridge allowing us the choice of outings to both Putney and Richmond. We have expanded our racking, have a well equipped free weights room and also a large training hall equipped with ergos which is also used for circuit training and parties! We're a 7 minute walk from both Kew Gardens station (District Line) and Mortlake station (Mainline – Waterloo/Clapham Junction/Putney/Richmond line), and have ample free parking and regular local bus routes.
Both squads attended an overseas training camp, and have access to excellent equipment, with recently purchased eights and fours for men and women.
In 08/9 the Senior Men's squad qualified a Thames Cup 8 at Henley for the third year running, and were competitive at IM1/2, including wins at Marlow, Kingston and Oxford City regattas. 13 of the last two Henley crews are back for 09/10 and we have over a dozen boats suitable for the squad. Our goals for 09/10 are for the 1st 8 to finish top 100 at HORR and to qualify two boats for Henley Royal.
The Women’s senior squad raced competitively with wins from Inter 3 through to senior, culminating in a medal at the national championships. We plan to build on this in 2009/10 - if you have rowed at a senior level at your uni / club and would like a new challenge, please contact womenscaptain@putneytownrc.co.uk
The Men's and Women's development squads are a friendly group with dedicated coaching that aims to help you improve from novice / IM3 standard.

Reading has one of the longest and scenic stretches of river on the Upper Thames, which makes rowing here a real pleasure.
We are a large and friendly club of various different experiences and commitment levels and always keen to welcome new rowers, coxes and coaches into our midst. We are perfectly set up to accommodate different aspirations and commitment levels. Our main focus is performance-based rowing, but we aim to have some fun whilst working hard.
We are leaving a good summer season behind and for the winter we are looking to improve our position at both men s and women s head of the river races and beyond that keep the focus on Henley Royal Regatta and Henley Women s Regatta. Of course there are some other milestones on the way and we particularly look forward to races on our home stretch: Reading Small Boats Head, Reading University Head and Reading Amateur Regatta.
Apart from enjoying the fantastic stretch of river, you get plenty of chances at Reading Rowing Club to get together with your club mates we open the club bar for food and drink every Thursday night (from about 7:30pm - just come over and see what we're all about) and offer a great breakfast on weekend mornings.

SBC is a friendly and welcoming club with a good social side. We have a variety of membership categories to suit all, from the avid (every day, all week, come rain or shine) rower to the social only (the bar will suit me just fine) ex-rower.
All squads have expanded since last year (with crews competing at HWR, HRR and the Nat Champs) and they go into next season looking very healthy. SBC also runs very successful Learn to Row Courses for those new to the sport. The club also gained Clubmark accreditation earlier in the year.
New equipment has been purchased during 2009 and clubhouse facilities have also been improved with further refurbishments planned during the next 12 months.

TRC welcomes male and female rowers and coxes at all levels of experience to join our vibrant squads. Almost all of our existing oarsmen and women are returning for the new season.
For the first time, TRC has the services of paid Head Coaches for both the men’s and women’s squads – Al Heathcote and Simon Fieldhouse (better known to many as Monkey) – who will be supported by a dedicated group of volunteer coaches.
The men will be building toward an assault on the Thames, Brit and Wyfold. The women will be looking for sweep-oar and sculling wins at all levels – those aiming for GB squad selection will also be given individual assistance. The juniors will be forming a new partnership with London Youth Rowing and aiming to become a competitive force. Novices and veterans will also be looking to continue their winning ways.
We have excellent training facilities: a well-equipped weights gym, a circuits gym and over 30 ergos (Concept 2 and RowPerfect). An indoor rowing/sculling tank is currently in the final stages of fit-out. We also have a large and modern fleet of all boat types, suitable for all from lightweight women to heavyweight men.
A full-time House Manager is on hand to provide a choice of food on weeknights and there will be a full and varied calendar of socials throughout the year.

TTRC Men’s Group is looking to build on successes in the last few years and improve in the forthcoming season. We’ve got a great coaching set up and would like to hear from anyone interested in joining a club keen to make progress.
The TTRC Women’s squad has grown over the last year and has had several successful Head and Regatta results. If you have rowed at University, are new to the sport, or keen to revisit the sport after some time out, let us know.
TTRC Veterans have a strong history of picking up pots at events around the country. We’ve an active group of guys, ranging from Vet B up to G. Both sweep oar and sculling catered for. If you’re interested in a regular splash or in something more seriously racey, drop the club a line.
There has been plenty of investment in the club over the last few months:
2 Brand new Coaching Launches and Engines; 1 new Stampfli Wing Rigger 1st VIII; Refurbished pairs and fours for both squads; 20 new Concept II Rowing Blades; New Sculling Blades; Reconditioned Erg Room
At Tradesmen’s, we are keen to develop the athlete in the best way for them, tailoring training programmes to suit requirements both on and off the water. If you’re ambitious to do well at Henley this year and tired of ploughing the same furrow as dozens of others, then why not give us a shout?
There is also a strong social scene at the club. We have a fully licensed bar, with Sky TV where we host a number of events through the year: Summer BBQ’s, 6 Nations parties, Burns’ Night Supper and an Annual Dinner. We've recently started 'Row & Eat', having dinner together at the club every other Wednesday after training (men and women take it in turns to cook).
Thames Tradesmen’s RC is a short walk from Barnes Bridge station, and is easily accessible from Chiswick, Hammersmith, Barnes, Mortlake and Richmond.

If you want to be allowed to be an individual rather than some faceless squad member while having national and international success then this is the club for you.
We train hard, party harder and look to develop excellence in the sport of sculling.
At Scullers most of the day to day work over the winter being in singles which allows greater flexibility around work. It also has a great club atmosphere, there's a reason The Great Eight happened at Scullers and why a four times M1x World Champion comes back every winter. Why not find out for yourself.

Tyne offers the best opportunity for keen newcomers to the Durham/Newcastle area to row and train in a large senior squad with like minded athletes. We often train alongside crews from NUBC and DUBC on the best stretch of water in the North East.
Particularly keen to attract experienced rowers (male and female) new to the North East or wanting to get back into rowing.
Senior Men & Women’s squads - Men had an excellent year last year and are planning to build on our hard work to achieve a minimum of: top 50 at HoRR and 2 eights in top 120, qualify 12 seats for Henley with top crew aiming to reach Friday. Strong core of talented athletes training hard and with high aspirations for long-term success. Aiming to have around 25 strong squad by mid-October. Focus this year will be on small boat work until Christmas.
Women are building momentum already after slightly quiet year. Numbers increased including some very experienced oarswomen and talented athletes and training going well so far, with 2 eights training side-by-side.
Veterans' Squad - Tyne has an expanding veteran squad of all levels of ability. We currently row / train Tuesdays, Thursday and Saturdays. New members of the squad are always welcome and whether you just want the odd outing or are looking to be a bit more competitive we will endeavour to meet your needs. Last year we took a veteran D and F eight to the national veterans regatta along with attending and occasionally winning at a number of regatta's / heads both locally and nationally. If you’re interested in joining us please contact our veteran coordinator Graeme Wheeler - Gwheeler@blueyonder.co.uk
Novices – Our novice squad is made up of our graduates from the summer learn to row courses. After a year or so all novice rowers move on to other squads. The squad has training on Wednsday nights (on land during the winter) and Sunday afternoons. We can sometimes accommodate a small number of additional starters over the winter and but advertise for the full learn to row course each spring. Contact is Kevin Dobson at kevin-dobson@hotmail.co.uk.
Juniors – The club has an active junior squad which trains twice a week over the winter and more often when longer nights allow. For 2009-10 the club is reviewing how it recruits juniors, with an emphasis on work with schools and community organisations. However, we may be able to take on a small number of new starters direct, so if interested contact Colin Percy on secretary@tynerowingclub.org

Walbrook is a friendly and sociable club with good equipment (mostly Empachers and late-model Janouseks, as well as a modern gym and ergo studio) based on an excellent stretch of water (between Teddington Lock and Hampton Court Palace), good transport links and a sensible and mature attitude to training. We understand that many of our rowers will want to juggle work, academic and other commitments but still want to compete successfully. We welcome new members whether they want to take their rowing to a high level or if they want something less full-on.
The women’s section qualified an eight for HWR and earned wins at Peterborough Regatta and Kingston Regatta. The men’s section achieved wins at Weybridge Silver Sculls, Staines Regatta and Gloucester Regatta, entered the Wyfolds and represented the club at the Nat Champs this year.
The women will be looking to progress further in HWR this year, as well as developing the whole squad. The men are looking to improve on their HORR placing and enter a range of events, and are looking to strengthen the squad to take us to the next level.

With the best stretch of water on the Thames and a new fleet of boats to match, we plan to continue our development at all levels. The Club has been represented Internationally, at every level, over the last two years and the appointment of our new HP coach is intended to continue that record.
The Senior Men aim to build on last year's strong showing at HRR where we suffered a narrow loss in the Wyfold semi, as well as a strong showing in the Britannia. Numbers have grown already since last summer, and we expect to be challenging at the very top next season.
The Senior Women intend to continue their meteoric rise of the last three years, which last year saw Wallingford as the only club with two boats in the top 25 at WHoRR, plus wins at Ghent and the Met. Medals at HWR and the National Championships are next year's targets.
The Novice/Development Squad has shown once again its success with many from last year's beginners' group winning their novice pots within the year, and some moving through to the Senior Squads.
