Visit the club websiteAbout this club
Greenbank Falmouth Rowing Club is based at Stithians Lake near Redruth in Cornwall. The club's current website uses the full Greenbank Falmouth name and describes a programme for recreational and competitive rowers on the lake.
An independent rowing profile dates the club to 1949 and says it was founded by Roy Coote. It records an early focus on 15-foot skiffs and flash boats, a move into modern racing boats in 1970 and relocation from Greenbank Gardens to the present boathouse in 2006.
The club welcomes complete beginners as well as experienced rowers. Its membership pages separate adult recreational rowing, adult competitive rowing and junior rowing, allowing members to choose between social water time and race-focused training. Membership includes access to club equipment, a gym, showers and changing facilities.
Greenbank Falmouth is affiliated to British Rowing and the West of England Amateur Rowing Association. The club says members compete in the United Kingdom and abroad. It highlights former member Tim Wilkinson's participation in the Diamond Challenge Sculls at Henley Royal Regatta and says its veterans attend national events.
The club runs its own annual regatta at Stithians Lake as part of the WEARA calendar. The published event description uses an approximately 1,000-metre still-water course and lists racing for a wide range of crews.
The regional rowing handbook lists the address as The Boathouse, Stithians Lake, near Redruth, TR16 6NW. British Rowing also lists the organisation under the full Greenbank Falmouth Rowing Club name.
