  • Overview Mortlake Rowing Club Is the Oldest Component Part If The
    Overview Mortlake Rowing Club is the oldest component part if the present-day MAABC. It was established in 1877. Next came Anglian Boat Club, which started in 1878. It merged with Mortlake Rowing Club in 1962 to become Mortlake Anglian Boat Club. Chiswick Rowing Club was the result of the amalgamation of two local clubs, Bedford Park and Bedford Park & District and later merged with Mortlake Anglian Boat Club to become Mortlake Anglian & Chiswick Boat Club. Alpha Women's Rowing Club formed in 1927 and was to merge with Mortlake Anglian & Chiswick Boat Club in 1984, since when we have been: Mortlake Anglian & Alpha Boat Club. The Origins of Mortlake Institute Rowing Club Based on contributions from Mike Williamson, Les Rule (in his late 80s and who joined the club in 1936) and Gordon Hilliker in May, 2003. Unfortunately the official documents dealing with the club history have long since been mislaid, so we will have to rely on our recollections and hearsay. The club was founded in 1877 as Mortlake Institute Rowing Club boating from a shed along side “The Ship” public house. In the early 1900s plans were developed for building the stone river embankment between Watney Brewery and Kew. We presume that the councils of Richmond and Mortlake decided that as all the rowing clubs on the Surrey side of the river were based at Putney they should have one between the two towns. The site chosen was a strip of land between the river and the crematorium, steps were incorporated in the new embankment for easy access to the river and two 1914- 18 army huts were acquired, one for boats the other as a clubhouse and changing room just behind the steps.

It is aimed at people with no prior rowing knowledge but who wish to support the delivery of the sport within CLSARC. This is an introduction to the structure of clubs, the equipment used for rowing and how volunteers can help to look after it. It is not intended to be a coaching course. The advice given here will not prepare helpers to work with participants on the water but we hope it will mean they can offer effective support to coaches on the land, enabling them to prepare participants for water outings. After reading the guide we hope volunteers will be able to assist their club’s qualified coaches with sessions in a productive manner. This hopefully will in turn help the coach develop the participants they work with. An ideal way to use this booklet would be for coaches to spend time with new volunteers going through it with them as practically as possible, so that they understand the basics.

  • Rowers' Guide to the Thames 1 Thames Tour What to See When
    Thames Tour What to see when rowing the Thames Christopher Dodd This guide was written for an International Rowing Federation (FISA) seven-day rowing tour of the Thames in 2003, starting in Godstow near Oxford and progressing downstream to Putney in London. It uses the terms ‘port’ and ‘starboard’ to describe the location of sights. As seen from the cox’s seat, ‘port’ (stroke side) is to the left of boat, ‘starboard’ (bow side) is to the right - in the direction in which the boat and the stream are moving. The River Thames, also called the Isis in the Oxford area, is important for several reasons. For centuries it was a great trading route, connecting the Thames Valley and, through the canal system, the west and midlands of England with the great port of London. It is a great source of drinking water for London, and as railways shut down transport by water, they opened the Thames Valley to Londoners for enjoyment and recreation. The modern sport of rowing was born on the Thames, and it remains a world centre. The guide was updated in 2013. Please contribute comments and corrections HERE. © Christopher Dodd Seven days from Oxford to London DAY 1 – Godstow to Clifton Hampden (27 km, 6 locks) DAY 2 - Clifton Hampden to Pangbourne (29 km, 4 locks) DAY 3 - Pangbourne to Henley (24 km, 6 locks) DAY 4 - Henley to Maidenhead (25 km, 6 locks) DAY 5 - Maidenhead to Staines (24 km, 5 locks) DAY 6 - Staines to Teddington (28 km, 6 locks) DAY 7 - Teddington to Putney (15 km) Rowers’ guide to the Thames 1 DAY 1 – Godstow to Clifton Hampden, 27 km, 6 locks The tour starts at St Edward’s school boathouse, close to Godstow lock beside the remains of Godstow Abbey.
