A legacy measured in names.

From first-year novices on the harbour to alumni now scattered across the world, the same water has carried every crew this Club has ever put out. Forty-five years of it comes to the miles logged before sunrise, the names you still remember from your boat, and the quiet pride of having belonged to it. This November, the Rowing Club and the Alumni Rowing Club mark those years together.

Be there for the 45th

The trophies get engraved. The rivalries never do end.

You never forget the smell of the boathouse.

We did this for the 40th. The stories have only got better.

What the clock never recorded.

The results fade quickly. The people don't.

The part you keep.

Crew for life.

The medal is not the point.

On the Water

Six minutes.

The rest of the year is rehearsal.

Champion.

Two seconds you will never give back.

Me vs me.

The water keeps an honest score.

As one, or not at all.

Four bodies, one catch.

All in.

Nothing left in the boat.

Power of us.

Rivals at the start. Family at the finish.

One heartbeat.

Eight people who stopped counting themselves.

Home water.

Forty-five years on the same tide.

This is why.

Every dark morning, paid back at once.

Two clubs, one crew.

Current squad and alumni, one footprint across forty-five years, hosting the evening together.
