I wish the club well for the future.
All my best.

I guess, sadly we have many enquiries regarding Learn2Row but those contacting us, think that we are a Gig Club. Is fine, gig rowing is prevalent in the South West.

So, we must advise that Roadford Lake Rowing Club is a sliding seat rowing club. We row fine/river boats. aka Oxford and Cambridge but in brill smaller boats. It generates a whole body excercise.

We were rowing at Roadford Lake before Gig Clubs.

Whilst we acknowledge Gig rowing is more prevalent in the South West, we were the first in recent history to resurrect rowing at Roadford.

We offer Learn to Row and Annual Membership at £240 max per year, 365 days in daylight hours.

We are a small club but will welcome you too!

best wishes

The West of England Amateur Rowing Association (WEARA) Regatta Season is well underway with Wimbleball Regatta going ahead yesterday. 👍🏻
Attached is the fine boat Regatta Schedule.
Apart from the rowing activity, there is always other local activities happening in the vicinity. A great day out and cheering on local crews/clubs on in their huge endeavours.
Good luck to all in the other events. 👍🏻

Whilst we launched just after Covid and in a very rural area, this lake/reservoir, is the largest in the South West, we can row up to 2km without stopping!
Ok, a long distance for some, it does not mean you need to row that distance!
We are club with different abilities. Each to their own.
Just an opportunity to row and have fun.
Call me on 07837 190678 for more info.
We look forward to talking to you.

We are fully affiliated to West of England Amateur Rowing Association as well as British Rowing.
The club has boats for Fours, Doubles and Singles.
Whilst that means members can row competitively, we have a good group of recreational rowers too!
Everyone welcome.

Well, 2026 is upon us and the weather has started sort of ok!?
We are a fine river boat club which means turbulent conditions can mean cancellation of rowing! 🤦🏻‍♂️
However, we have a number of coastal all weather boats to use too!
Better to row than not!?
Please do drop us a message if you are interested in rowing (not Gig) and we can discuss options.
Rowing is a great way to keep fit. You can row with two of you in a boat or more.
Call me: Ian Lamb. 07837 190678 Thank you. 👍🏻
