General Information     We are a small & friendly club, based at our purpose built boathouse, next to the Watersports Centre at Colman’s Dyke in Nicholas Everett Park on Oulton Broad. The Club is affiliated to British Rowing, and we have an excellent selection of boats, from beginners’ single sculls to fine racing fours. Some members of the club  compete in regattas around the country, but the Club is ideal for recreational rowing, and there are some members who prefer just to enjoy time on the water. Members also regularly participate in the annual BR rowing tour over three days. The Tour visited the Broads in 2004 (Beccles to Norwich).

History     Lowestoft Rowing Club was formed in 1977. The club’s original site was at the Schools boat-house site at the end of Boathouse Lane,  Oulton Broad. When that site was sold, another site was obtained in Nicholas Everitt Park, adjacent to the Oulton Broad Water Sports Centre. At this time Waveney District Council installed a floating pontoon suitable for launching rowing boats.

The Lowestoft and District Waterways and Water Sports Trust was formed and raised the funds to build a proper boat-house, which is shared between the Lowestoft Rowing Club and Lowestoft and District Canoe Club, who rent the building from the Trust. The boathouse was opened in 1991 by the Minister of Sport, Colin Moynihan, Olympic coxswain.

    1. Hello
      I am hoping to return to rowing after a VERY long time away. It would be to your older age/masters section. To save you having to ask, I am 57. What would be the best thing for me to do next?
      Many thanks
      Vicki
