Change of scenery !
The Dorney to Putney row took place one week later than intended (27/28 June) and stopped at Chiswick after we got held up for an hour at Richmond Lock. Nevertheless, a good time was had by all, with nothing more serious than a few blisters and a touch of sunburn. Pictures to follow. |

"Wey to Row" Beginners Rowing Courses
Unfortunately we have had to postpone the next beginners course to September - apologies to those who were looking forward to it. Email us now to reserve a place - the sessions will probably be on Sunday afternoons with a few on Wednesday evenings if it is light enough. |

Hide A'Wey
The Weyfarers summerhouse has suffered during the cold weather - due to a burst pipe one of the kitchen walls got soaked with water and the units have fallen off. We will be organising a work day in the Spring to replace the units, touch up the paintwork and generally spruce things up. Be prepared! |
We are one of just a handful of recreational
and touring rowing clubs in the UK, formed for and by people who
think rowing should be FUN!
- No time to train 8 days a week?
- Love rowing, but want to have a life as well?
- Never tried rowing, but want to have a go?
Then maybe YOU should try recreational rowing!!
Don't get us wrong - we don't just paddle around. We aim to
improve our technique and get fit, just like our more competitive
friends. But our horizons are wider.....
Here's what we do:
- Regular rowing sessions throughout the year on Saturday and Sunday mornings at 10 a.m.,
followed by drinks in the bar. Summer evening sessions by arrangement.
- Beginners' rowing courses, aimed at
mature people and families
- NEW! Wednesday morning ladies rowing sessions at 10 a.m.
- One or two day rowing tours in the
UK
- International tours, in conjunction
with our friends in other countries
