Description: We are a friendly and social club with excellent facilities. We are situated on the River Severn and offer recreational and competitive rowing to athletes of all standards, young or old. Bewdley Rowing Club offers an open and friendly environment with excellent facilities and around 220 members, young and old. The club was established in 1877 and is located in the small picturesque Georgian town of Bewdley on the banks of the River Severn in Worcestershire. Club members regularly work within the community and local schools to promote and provide competitive rowing and sculling, regularly offering coaching and outings for newcomers wanting to try rowing. Bewdley Rowing Club has master, senior, novice and junior squads for both men and women, training usually takes place all year round split into two sections a summer and a winter season. Throughout the year members successfully compete in local and national events including our own two-day annual regatta held at the end of July. We have a thriving competitive section of the club being master, senior, novice or junior; both men and women all compete at regattas in the summer and heads in the winter. Competitive rowers normally train four to five times a week all year round. We have a flourishing recreational squad for men and women over the age of 16; they generally train twice a week on the water, they are self-sufficient and have a coach who rows with them. The squads themselves consist of rowers who either have many years of experience but do not want to compete and just enjoy having a row a couple of times a week, or rowers who have completed a learn to row course, moved into the novice section of the club; gaining a years’ experience and then wishing not to go on to compete but continue to row. Bewdley Rowing Club offers a number of learn to row courses throughout the year, running in spring, summer and autumn. These are weekend courses, consisting of one three-hour session on the Saturday afternoon and another three-hour session on the Sunday
