Founded in 1887 and still a thriving coastal club, training all year and competing at coastal regattas throughout Kent and Sussex each summer.
It's all about @john546164#weloveyoujohnujohn
On Sunday a handful of our juniors took part in the Junior Inter-Regional Regatta (JIRR) trials. They travelled to Dorney Lake to row time trials alongside other clubs from the South coast.![]()
The event showcases top young rowers (J15/J16) representing their respective regions.![]()
The main event is on Saturday 25 April 2026.![]()
We had a J15 girls quad, double scull and three single sculls take part.![]()
These girls have been training as much as possible for the past few months (thank you @spitfirerowing for use of your pontoon). And well done to @alexrobson25 for all of the organising and coaching (it hasn't finished yet though 😉).
Wow! Just wow!
