Beccles is a small, historic market town nestled on the banks of the Waveney on the Norfolk/Suffolk border in East Anglia and is home to Beccles Rowing Club.

Since 1989, the sight of rowing boats on the River Waveney has been commonplace. That’s when the club was founded and for many years was run on a shoestring budget and from a boathouse constructed of  wooden fence panels and corrugated tin roof!

Now we’re delighted to be operating from our brand new purpose built shed which was only completed in July 2007. It is just a few hundred metres from the town centre, providing us with space to house our fleet of sculling and sweep oar rowing boats. Visit the “Boat House Construction” pages to see the new shed through its development.

Beccles Rowing Club is committed to developing the facilities for rowing for all those who wish to try it – young or old, male or female (we have a thriving junior section right now). To this end, we have, through successful applications for grants from various institutions and organisations, we have a new coaching launch, training boat and various new rowing boats. Couple that with 4 qualified Amateur Rowing Association coaches and these are good times for Beccles Rowing Club!!
