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

Weybridge Rowing Club is based at Thames Lock, Jessamy Road, in Weybridge, Surrey. The club rows on the River Thames and dates its foundation to 1881.

Weybridge began as a local tradesmen's rowing club. It joined the National Amateur Rowing Association in 1919, included a women's event in its post-war Peace Regatta and formed a women's section led by Amy Gentry.

A Weybridge coxed four represented Great Britain at the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris. In 1926 Gentry founded Weybridge Ladies Amateur Rowing Club, which moved to its own base farther downriver.

The present club reports more than 200 members aged from 12 to 84. Its programme includes juniors, seniors and masters, adult and junior learn-to-row courses, learn-to-cox instruction, indoor rowing, and work with schools and community groups.

Weybridge says its junior crews win locally and nationally and that some members progress to represent Great Britain. Its indoor programme has also taken beginners through to medals at the British Rowing Masters Championships.

The club stages the Weybridge Winter Head, Hyne Cup and Weybridge Silver Sculls, and co-organises the Walton and Weybridge Regatta. It established the Weybridge Community Regatta in 2014 for local organisations, while its results archive records wins, medals and other achievements from 1997 onwards.
