Herne Bay
Amateur Rowing Club is on the North Kent coast and competes in the CARA regattas in Kent and Sussex throughout the summer season. Last season (2007) our Senior 4 and Veteran 4 crews qualified for the South Coast Championships. In the 2005 season we won both the Bideford Bowl and the Pompey Grand - coastal rowing's top two trophies and we are current holders of the Pompey Grand.
Additionally last season Herne Bay won the novice aggregate and the novice championship (crew members pictured below)
We always welcome new members, so why not try it out. The rowing club offers a healthy, safe club and has a youth protection officer and a well stocked Bar for older members.
Call in to the club on a
Sunday lunch time to talk about rowing to one of the current members. Wednesday night is novice
night, starting around 6-6.30pm at the club. For more information phone:
