The Rowing
Club meets every Wednesday and Saturday to go training at Runnymede.
Training usually involves rowing in crews of four; either coxed
or coxless, or in pairs in a double scull. We have a gym at the
back of the boathouse enabling us to train on and off the water.
We keep various different boats at the boathouse and this allows
everyone to get out on the river and means that you can try both
rowing and sculling. We also put together both single sex and
mixed crews.
We are coached
by an Olympic rower, Steven Lee, every Wednesday. Steve is an
extremely experienced rower and a good coach, whether you are
a beginner or an experienced rower he can always give you advice
on improving your rowing skills. Steve and Louise run regular
induction courses on and off the river, so it's possible to join
at any time of year!
If all this
sounds like a bit too much hard work, Don't Fear!, training is
usually ended in the café over the road or in the pub!
We meet every Wednesday at 1pm and every Saturday at 9am at the
pond infront of the Wilfred Brown building, Uxbridge Campus and
transport is provided.
Come down
and see what you think of rowing on a beautiful stretch of the
River Thames away from the concrete jungle of the Uxbridge Campus.
