Membership

How it works

Membership at Millrace

Boat access

Members can use club boats for coaching sessions and recreational outings. We maintain a fleet suited to every level.

Coaching

All squads train with experienced volunteer coaches. Whether you're learning the basics or racing, you'll have skilled people in your corner.

Community

You're joining a club run by rowers, for rowers. Everyone mucks in — on the water and in the clubhouse.

Year-round

Membership runs from April through March, so you can commit to a full season on the river.

New to rowing

Learn to row

Never held an oar? The learn-to-row course is the usual way in. We run it twice a year and take complete beginners from the first session.

Over a few weeks, you'll learn on the water with our coaches — boat handling, technique, safety, and the feel of moving four or eight people as one. By the end, you'll be ready to row with a squad or carry on as a casual member of the recreational bunch. Most of our current members came through learn-to-row, and most people who join the club start by turning up to one session.

Which squad is right for you

Juniors

For young rowers still in school. We coach technique and fitness, and many go on to race for the club or pursue rowing at university.

Seniors

Adult rowers aiming to race or row seriously. We compete in local and regional events, and train year-round with a competitive edge.

Sunday recreational

No racing, no pressure. Just people who love being on the water on Sunday mornings. A brilliant social squad.
