Recreational

Another large section of the club, our recreational rowers enjoy a more relaxed approach to rowing with a focus on touring rather than racing. We have a large fleet of recreational boats and take part in many touring events throughout the year. In addition to extended rows from the club on the Rivers Lea and Store, we visit other clubs and row with their recreational squads on their local waters. We also take part in the annual British Rowing three day tours in the UK ( recent tours have been on the Thames, the Lancaster Canal and the Severn). We also take part in The Great River race on the Thames and the Great Tyne Row. Members of the recreational squad have also joined overseas tours – most recently in Ireland, France and Lithuania. Our latest boat addition is an ‘octuple’ which is great fun to row!
