Thames Scullers

2024 Was a mixed season. The river was too high and unrowable for almost all of an unprecedented 5 months from late October through to early March, but as a club, we made good use of our weights and ergs, had 20 trips over to the Radley rowing tank and numerous outings on Dorney Lake. As a result of this we still managed to be well prepared for some strong results throughout the season, which saw the squad record 20 race wins and national level medals. These were produced by 22 of our 35 strong junior squad, ranging from J12 to J17. Congratulations to you all. Most recently we have managed to secure use of the Oratory School’s ergo room, for winter training in a more hospitable setting. We are very grateful to the school for this, especially with the river back in our marquees. We’ve also been permitted to continue to row on Saturday mornings, alongside the school’s new weekend training time. This I’m sure, will provide many opportunities to do some friendly racing between the two clubs throughout the season.
