Stratford upon Avon Boat Club has taken delivery of two new Explore Rowing single sculls, specially designed for novices and recreational rowers.

Last year, Stratford Boat Club saw two Explore Rowing groups graduate from British Rowing’s Learn to Row course, which includes fifteen hours of rowing tuition – land and water-based – by Stratford Boat Club’s top coaches supplemented with British Rowing’s course material.

British Rowing has teamed up with Hoseasons to offer members up to 10 per cent off their next holiday*.

Hoseasons offers a superb choice of self-catering accommodation in Britain and Europe, with family holiday parks, lodges, boating holidays and city break apartments. The range includes fun-packed seaside caravan parks with extensive on-site facilities, select clusters of boutique style rustic lodges complete with hot tubs, to your very own narrow boat to meander along the waterways.

More than 430 schoolchildren took part in the Plymouth Schools Indoor Rowing Championships (PSIRC) on Wednesday 8th Februrary, smashing a number of records at University College Marjon, Plymouth.

Participants from schools across the region took part in the British Rowing-supported PSIRC, which is now in its seventh year.

Records were smashed in three of the girls’ events (Years 7, 9, and 11), and one of the boys’ (Year 12 & 13), with Plymstock and Wembury Schools winning the fiercely-contested team events.

Premiership rugby club Saracens FC enjoyed an afternoon of Indoor Rowing on Wednesday, in preparation for a charity race on the River Thames.

Members of the Explore Rowing team put the Saracens squad through their paces on indoor rowing machines at the Old Albanian Sports Club, St. Albans.
