The Boat Club Appeal
Ever since the establishment of rowing at Pangbourne, the College has punched above its weight, competing successfully at the highest levels in the UK.
Not only are we lucky to have perhaps the best stretch of the River Thames, but we have inspirational coaching and a top-quality fleet. Beyond this, there is the intangible but critically important matter of culture – the levels of motivation and determination at Pangbourne.
What the club lacks is a place to call home - somewhere to socialise, discuss the session and bond as a crew. As well as the positive effects on the rowers, the equipment would be kept in better condition. Currently half of the fleet is stored outside which reduces the life of a boat considerably. In short, a new Boat House would strengthen rowing at Pangbourne for generations to come. Athlete recruitment and retention would be higher and the overall rowing experience would be enriched for the long term.
