Welcome to Northampton Rowing Club

NRC is a small friendly club affiliated to British Rowing and are based on a 3km stretch of the River Nene. In 2009 we completed the first stage of replacing an ageing boatstore with a new facility. The new boathouse provides storage for our coaching launches and a full variety of boats ranging from single sculls to eights. The building also accomodates 10 rowing machines and also includes a shower and toilet. The second stage of the project will see a first floor added, allowing us to offer improved facilities including a gym and a club house.

The Club also host the University of Northampton Rowing Club, Monarch Rowing Club who provide rowing facilities for staff and associates of Monarch Airlines and we also host Stowe School Boat Club.

We share some facilities with the Nene Whitewater Centre which is also home to the Northampton Canoe and Kayak Club. Within the centre are full changing and showering facilities, a café and our weights room.

Although we are a small club, we are active all year round with races, events and social activities. Training takes place at weekends (mornings) and weekday evenings (Tuesdays and Thursdays). We have a varied membership with some members having competed at national events such as Henley Royal Regatta, Henley Women's Regatta, The National Schools Regatta and The National Rowing Championships of Great Britain.

Inspired by the Olympics?

Watching our rowers do so well may have inspired you to try rowing, sculling or coxing! Please see our come try it and rowing course pages for further details on how to get involved.

Join In!

NRC is ran as a not for profit club by volunteers and we're always looking for new people to help run the club. It's immensely satisfying to help out whether it be coaching, running indoor training session or even tending to the grounds. Your efforts could be rewarded by seeing a group reach a particular goal or a first win at an event (we can even arrange courses for aspiring coaches). Or it could be just being part the club's growth and success. If you'd like to play some part then please don't hesitate to get in touch with the chairman.
