Our primary objective is to promote and encourage the development and expansion of rowing within Oxfordshire and the surrounding area and highlight the benefits of the sport. We do this by creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere, generated by the genuine common interest in the sport and the Club shared by our members.

If you have rowed before, or if you would like to learn a superb all-round sport that is fun, challenging, sociable and rewarding, please contact the Club Captain to arrange a visit- you are more than welcome to come and join us. 

Club sessions are held on Thursday evenings between 18:00 - 19:30 during the summer months and Sunday mornings between 10:30 - 12:00.

Details on the type of membership available and membership fees can be found here.

Before signing up for an introductory membership, you must:

• certify or demonstrate that you can swim 100 metres (four lengths of a typical swimming pool) wearing light clothes;
• make the club aware of any medical conditions which we need to know about;
• join the Club as an Introductory member. There will be a charge made for the beginners' course. At the end of the beginners course, if you decide to join the club as a full member, you will be given the choice of following a recreational or competitive rowing route. Once you become a full member, you will not have to pay for coaching.
