Torquay Rowing Club - Torquay | UK Rowing Clubs | Row HQ

Torquay Rowing Club was founded in 1869 and describes itself as the oldest sporting club in Torbay. It rows from Torquay and has been affiliated to Royal Torbay Yacht Club since the early 1980s.

That affiliation means Torquay rowing members are also members of the yacht club and can use its facilities. The rowing club's stated purpose is to foster amateur rowing and provide amenities for its members.

The club uses both fine river boats and coastal boats. It publishes regular club training nights and allows members to arrange additional use outside those sessions under its club procedures.

Membership categories include full, junior, full-time student concession, coach and Royal Torbay Yacht Club membership. Full and junior rowing members receive access to facilities provided by the yacht club.

The club is represented in the West of England Amateur Rowing Association and uses British Rowing policies for safeguarding, conduct, equality, safety and clean sport. Its committee includes coaching, welfare and water-safety roles.

Torquay also organises formal and informal social events throughout the year, including its annual Holly Ball. Club event terms give its correspondence address as care of Royal Torbay Yacht Club, Beacon Terrace, Torquay, TQ1 2BH.
