British Rowing Championships

British Rowing Championships

The British Rowing Championships takes place every year. In general, once every four years the event is held at Strathclyde Country Park, the other three years it is held at the National Water Sports Centre, Holme Pierrepont (Nottingham). It is a major event for club rowers and some schools also participate, however, because the event is held when most public schools have ended their year, some of those schools do not turn up. Events are held for open, women, open junior, women's junior, under 23, lightweight, adaptive and coastal boats.

Each crew member of the first, second and third placed crews in each event receive gold, silver and bronze medals respectively. The club champion in each event (i.e. the highest placed non-composite crew) also receives a wooden club champions plaque to display in their clubhouse. The names of the winning crews are recorded in a leather-bound book which has the names of all National Champions since 1972.

In 2010 the Regatta adopted the title British Rowing Championships to reflect the change in name of the Amateur Rowing Association to British Rowing. The logo and branding now reflects that of British Rowing.

The 2006 and 2010 Championships were held at Strathclyde Country Park in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. In 2007, 2008 and 2009 the event was held at Holme Pierrepont.

The 2011 Championships will be held in Nottingham between Friday 15 July and Sunday 17 July. Live online results can be viewed this year on the event website mobile results service or on the main website
