Nithsdale Regatta 2024

A small but perfectly formed squad of rowers ventured to the south of Scotland in Dumfries and Galloway. As with all grass roots club regattas this year, Nithsdale Regatta had quite a low entry this year but it was a hugely enjoyable day with good weather and close racing.

GRC had a very successful day with most participants getting event medals. Our Nov Women won their first regatta race as a coxed quad. We also won the Open Coxless Quad after suffering a major technical issue where steering became nigh on impossible from early in the race. Mixing squads, the Womens Nov 2x drove the boat home in 1st place in a hotly contested field. And finally, joining with Rebecca from Stirling Rowing Club, She and Mhari brought home a medal for the Womens Open 2x.

GRC Spring Regatta Cancelled

Unfortunately, due to low entries we have had to take the tough decision to cancel this event. We will look forward to welcoming you to our Fours and Eights Head in the head race season. Until then, keep rowing and we will look forward to competing with you in coming events in Scotland.

We are pleased to invite everyone to our Spring Regatta on Saturday the 13th April 2024. After some rather windy and wet weather, we’ve also booked in some sunshine to aid the enjoyment of competing and watching some fun and exciting events on the River Clyde in Glasgow.

Details are available on our GRC Summer Regatta page and we’ll look forward to welcoming you soon.

Happy 80th Birthday

One of our founding members celebrated his 80th birthday at the end of March. Sandy who has done so much for GRC and is the bedrock on which the current club stands. Sandy created GRC from the amalgamation of several clubs on the Clyde and was instrumental in building the current boathouse. He oversees the canteen at the club and from the proceeds has invested in several boats for the the club.
