We are a small friendly club based on a 3km stretch of the River Nene. Our boathouse hosts a gym containing 13 rowing machines, swingulator and free weights area as well as storage for a full variety of boats ranging from single sculls to eights. NRC although small has a varied membership with some members having competed at national events such as The British Rowing Junior Championships, Henley W

omen's Regatta, Henley Royal Regatta. However if you do not wish to row competitively, NRC could also be the club for you. We have a number of recreational members and are always looking for coxes to steer our boats to success. If you are small, confident and like the idea of giving orders then coxing could be for you. Rowing is a sport, which can be enjoyed by people of both genders and all ages. So whether you are an experienced rower who wishes to test our waters or just curious about trying the sport, then please get in contact with the club captain to see what we can offer.

*National Schools Regatta*
📣Final results 📣:

Will - 1st Final G
Mae - 7th Final B
Nik & Fraser - 3rd Final B
Jemima & Polly - 7th Final C

And definitely not forgetting:
Libby (Stowe) - 2nd Final C
Cameron (Leander)- 4th Final A

The competition was literally best in the country.
✨️These results were especially incredible given:
🚣‍♀️ For Polly & Jemima it was their first race together
🚣‍♀️ Jemima, Mae, Fraser, Will had to race up 1 year
🚣‍♀️ Libby raced up 2 years
🚣‍♀️ for Cameron the difference between 2nd place and 4th place was 0.18 of a second

For all athletes to qualify for finals and to achieve 2 major finals they all did us so proud. It was the greatest number of athletes we’ve ever taken to this event and shows just how well the junior section is thriving.

Ball Cup South 10th May

Massive congratulations to our junior contingent who went medal hunting at the weekend and didn’t disappoint.
Due to the weather, side by side racing had to be abandoned and instead they reverted to time trials. Even so all great experience and all managed extremely well.

Our A final place finishers were:
Nik J16 1x first 🥇
Polly WJ18 2nd🥈
Lottie WJ18 4th
Mae WJ17 2nd 🥈
Polly & Jemima WJ18 2x 1st 🥇
Lottie & Darcey WJ18 2x 3rd 🥉
Poppy & Sibylla WJ15 2x 3rd 🥉
Poppy WJ15 1x 2nd 🥉
Jasmine WJ15 1x 4th
Will & Henry J18 2x 5th

Must say particular commiserations to Jasmine who was only 0.1 sec off a medal position and Lottie who was 0.7 seconds off. So close girls.
Thanks to our coaches, towers and parental support group who made the day such a great success.

✨️Bedford 4’s & small boats 12th April✨️

A good turn out of entries on Sunday when we ventured over to Bedford. A challenging race especially with the wind in the early divisions let alone the notorious Bedford bridges to navigate.

Big well done to Henry, Greta & Will who completed their first races for the club and congratulations to our winners:

Poppy & Sibylla WJ15 2x 🏆
Fraser & Zac J15 2x (composite with Bedford Rowing Club) 🏆
Mae WJ17 1x 🏆

What a day on the Tideway 💙🚣‍♀️

Our composite Women’s 8 with took on in style, starting 258th and powering their way up to an incredible 182nd out of 351 crews 🔥

A huge push, relentless determination, and a performance to be proud of from bow to stroke. Racing on the Thames is never easy, but this crew showed exactly what they’re made of 💪

Massive thanks to everyone who supported, coached, and cheered us on — onwards and upwards 📈

Weather 0, Northampton 1 💪 Sadly the Northampton Head Race was cancelled today due to the volume of rain over the last few days. 🌧☔️

But, that did not stop the Northamptong Rowing Club crews from coming together with internal, indoor challenges.🏅

The shiny new kitchen meant that everyone was well catered for with food prepared for the event. 🍥🎂🍰🧉🍔

Massive thanks go to all of the parents, families and friends for all the support to land this fantastic internal event notice with no notice at all and thanks to all the crews for still turning up and turning a disappointing day into a fantastic outcome 🙌

HEAD RACE CANCELLED

Unfortunately due to the heavy rain yesterday the Environment Agency has issued a flood warning on our stretch of the River Nene which they do not anticipate will be lifted in time for our race tomorrow.

If you are in the area and fancy some soup or cakes tomorrow morning please drop in and help us avoid food waste and reduce our loss from the organising of the event. We will be open from 9am - 12 noon.

We are deeply disappointed to have to make this decision but hope competitors can understand.

We look forward to organising next years event.

Best wishes,
