Kate would like to extend a warm invitation to everyone in the sports community to discover the Bradford-on-Avon Rowing Club. Nestled in the heart of Bradford-on-Avon in Wiltshire, UK, this club is set along a beautiful part of the river, right opposite Barton Farm Country Park and the historic Tithe Barn.
The club boasts a mile-long stretch of river ideal for rowing, from the boat club to the Avoncliff weir, and also provides access for canoeists through the town and beyond the Greenland Mills weir. It's a great place to explore the natural beauty of the area.
The Bradford-on-Avon Rowing Club welcomes members of all ages and skill levels, from youngsters to senior rowers, beginners to seasoned athletes. They frequently run Learn to Row and Learn to Paddle courses, offering a supportive environment to hone rowing and canoeing skills.
One of the club's key features is its fleet of boats and kayaks, available to all members. Whether you're aiming to refine your technique, prepare for competitions, or simply enjoy a relaxed paddle, the well-maintained equipment ensures a great experience on the water.
In December 2020, the club achieved planning permission to redevelop its two boathouses, enhancing the facilities and aiding the club's growth. As a registered charity (Charity Number: 1202991), Bradford-on-Avon Rowing Club is committed to giving back to the community. Members participate in various activities, including maintenance work on the Avoncliff weir, river clean-ups, and supporting the local duck race.
The club draws members from neighbouring towns such as Cirencester and Wincanton, creating a network of individuals who share a passion for rowing and canoeing. This fosters camaraderie and friendships among the diverse membership.
Bradford-on-Avon Rowing Club also offers coaching services to local schools, encouraging young people to take up rowing and canoeing.
Kate invites you to join the Bradford-on-Avon Rowing Club, whether you're looking to develop your skills, compete in races, or simply enjoy the tranquility of the river.
