Our racing squads provide opportunities for young people to further their rowing careers, while the competitions we host throughout the year are intended to provide an inclusive racing atmosphere for all. We row at Thames Tradesmen Rowing Club, Globe Rowing Club, 1863 Club and Mossbourne Federation Rowing. Each year, we host the National Junior Indoor Rowing Championships (NJIRC), providing a platform for 2000 rowers from competitive and grassroots backgrounds to experience the excitement of high level competition.
