General Information     We are a small & friendly club, based at our purpose built boathouse at Colman’s Dyke in Nicholas Everett Park on Oulton Broad. We have an excellent selection of boats from beginners’ single sculls to fine racing fours. There are members of the club who compete in regattas around the country. But there are also members of the club who prefer just to enjoy time on the water, and the Club is developing its recreational rowing. Two members regularly participate in the annual Amateur Rowing Association 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 this raised the funds to build a proper boat-house to be 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.
