The Warwick Boat Club

Ogólne informacje

The whole club is owned and run by its members and is therefore united by a special team spirit. It is not uncommon, for example to see squash players take on rowers at bowls, or to see tennis and squash players take on each other at rowing during the club's Annual Regatta. The Rowing section, which was the first sport at the club has around 150 members from juniors to veterans. Crews from Warwick have represented the town at all levels of competition form local regattas through to Henley Royal Regatta and even World Championships. Back on land, the club boasts 11 artificial grass courts tennis courts with 7 of these being floodlit. The section holds a wide variety of tournaments, socials and coaching courses throughout the year. The Squash section was formed in 1968 and now has 150 members. The main focus of the section revolves around a monthly league, catering for all standards. Several teams from Warwick Boat Club also compete in Warwickshire leagues. Finally, the bowls section has around 60 members. Within the club, the game has an important social aspect with dinners organised by the club after most matches. Throughout the summer, the club both organises and attends a wide range of fixtures throughout the region.
