Leeds Rowing Club

@markxdavies 100% agree with all of this Mark. All of these challenges and the system we work in make it extremely difficult to provide a path for people to get involved in something which in most instances is on their doorstep

I have put chapter 2 of my book, Unsporty Nation, up on my Substack. Chapter 1 asked why good ideas struggle to land. Chapter 2 now looks at the landscape # we are operating in. If you’re interested you can find it at markxdavies.substack.com

The support behind every race 💙

A hugely successful day on the Tyne for the club. Four wins and three second places at Rutherford Head. Well done to everyone who raced, and a huge thanks to the organisers who braved the cold and then the torrential rain in the second division.

@SnailTideway We feel your pain on that one!

I am so done with getting stuff caught on my prop... I swear half my outings are spent reversing to try and clear debris off.

Amazing opportunity for young people of Leeds!!! #leeds #schools #rowing @LeedsCC_News @BBCLeeds @LCCSportDev @Leedsrowing @BritishRowing @TALPhysicalEd

@Leedsrowing Hi. It's Goole's 200th anniversary next year. If you would like to link in to 'Goole 2026' plans please email gooleis200@gmail.com.

It’s confirmed. The East Riding Head of the River is officially in the calendar. Yorkshire’s newest head race is on Saturday 7 February 2026. 5000m on the Aire Calder Canal nr Goole (yes it won’t flood!). More details to follow…

What a weekend! 72 crews raced 52 finals including: x13 🥇, x9 🥈, x18 🥉 And the VL retained for a second year in a row 🏆 An amazing effort from the entire club at Peterborough Summer Regatta. Finishing off our most successful season to date!

Thanks for an amazing weekend!

A really close race between these mixed 8s. This was a grudge match between the Peterborough crews, with the mens captainship on the line... which now belongs to @Leedsrowing 😊

A huge thanks to all of the athletes, coaches and supporters who were there throughout the four days. Thanks to the event organisers for some amazing racing! Our most successful British Rowing Champs ever and a real testament to how far we’ve come in five years!

@StIves_RC We know your pain. We keep getting mixed up with Lea Rowing Club 😂

At our next committee meeting, we’ll be discussing potential adaptations to our club kit 😉

Phew, we maintain being mistaken for being from Cornwall at every single regatta so far this year. Many thanks @BritishRowing commentary team - it never fails to make us smile.😆😆 Our official motto - Sudore Non Sopore. Our unofficial motto - No, not that one! 😁😁😁

@DurhamARC Hell of a race! What a machine of an athlete!

Congratulations again to Quinn Mosley, after winning the J16 1x for GB v France last week, winning the J18 1x from 95 entries at the British Rowing Club Championships today. He will be back tomorrow for the J16 1x. Well done also to all the Juniors in J18 1x, WJ18 2x and WJ16 1x.

4 Days 2 Trailers 29 Crews 88 Members racing We’re back for another British Rowing Championships and we’re bigger than ever! We have a record number of crews and athletes racing across junior, senior and adaptive events over all four days. Best of luck to everyone racing!

@TheCumbercat @stanlivy We keep having to ram home that message to our members. I think that shiny kit syndrome kicks in and it puts the pressure on clubs (especially poorer ones).

Really mixed feelings on #HRR25 this year. Rowing wise it’s been superb. However the fleets of new empachers and filippi’s seem a world away from the world the public I meet at work everyday where nobody has any money. It feels disconnected from the Britain I live in.
