Committee Change

After our very successful Head Race, GRC had it’s AGM during which we expanded and evolved our committee. We made a couple of changes to our constitution enabling temporary membership and updates to some committee appointed positions.

We welcome Paul as our new President who will be taking over from Steve in the coming days.

We wish them all the very best and look forward to a continuing improvement of facilities and environment at the club. You can find details on our Organisation page on this website.

Nithsdale Regatta 2024

A small but perfectly formed squad of rowers ventured to the south of Scotland in Dumfries and Galloway. As with all grass roots club regattas this year, Nithsdale Regatta had quite a low entry this year but it was a hugely enjoyable day with good weather and close racing.

GRC had a very successful day with most participants getting event medals. Our Nov Women won their first regatta race as a coxed quad. We also won the Open Coxless Quad after suffering a major technical issue where steering became nigh on impossible from early in the race. Mixing squads, the Womens Nov 2x drove the boat home in 1st place in a hotly contested field. And finally, joining with Rebecca from Stirling Rowing Club, She and Mhari brought home a medal for the Womens Open 2x.

Happy 80th Birthday

One of our founding members celebrated his 80th birthday at the end of March. Sandy who has done so much for GRC and is the bedrock on which the current club stands. Sandy created GRC from the amalgamation of several clubs on the Clyde and was instrumental in building the current boathouse. He oversees the canteen at the club and from the proceeds has invested in several boats for the the club.

GRC celebrated this in time honoured fashion with a punt out on the water for the octagenarian and his former crewmates and friends. Wishing you many more years of good health, fitness and events at Glasgow Rowing Club.
