Our Facilities
The club caters for all abilities and all ages, from junior to veteran, from novices to potential International Athletes. The club tries to give every section of the club a designated coach. Our season begins for crews from September each year, but we are open to new members all year round
The club has a large fleet of 24 boats which are mainly Janousek Racing boats, as they are a strong and fast club boat and these boats are assigned to crews based on their ability and speed.

Some Veteran crews privately own their boats; and we currently have 2 privately owned eights stored in the boathouse
