Exeter Rowing Club is a rowing club on the River Exe, based at Exe Water Sports Association, 62 Haven Road, Exeter, Devon.[1]

History

[edit]

The club was formed in 1864 but has much earlier origins with its early connections to the Exeter Amateur Rowing Club, St Thomas Amateur Rowing Club and Port Royal Amateur Rowing Club.[2] The following year the club took control of the City of Exeter Regatta, which is the major annual event in the area.[3]

The club has members of all age groups and has had major national success in recent years.[4]
