Welcome
Based at Caldecotte Lake on the south side of the town, Milton Keynes Rowing Club (MKRC) shares its access and clubhouse with the Milton Keynes Sailing Club and Canoe Club.
We have an active Summer and Winter Programme of races, events and training schedules, weekends and mid-week, as well as social functions. This covers both water training (both rowing and sculling) and land based training (circuits and rowing machines).
Membership is varied and we encourage all levels of rowing ability, from experienced rowers to complete newcomers to the sport. We welcome people of all ages, now including a thriving junior section. We also welcome supporters who perhaps may wish to take their rowing a little less seriously or just help with the club's activities.
So just come on down to the club during one of the training sessions where you will receive a friendly welcome or contact us by e-mail.
Learn-To-Row
During the Summer of 2009, we are started a new programme of training for complete novices - 'Learn-To-Row'. The course continued for 8 Sessions.
A new course will commence in April 2010. If you are interested, please contact us for more information.
