Gloucester Rowing Club

The club was founded in 1846, making it one of the oldest rowing clubs in the United Kingdom.^[2]

In 2010 Gloucester Rowing Club and Hartpury College set up a centre to enable Hartpury students to participate in one of the Great Britain's rowing team centres. In the relationship the students become members of the Gloucester Rowing Club where they access the rowing facilities. In return the senior rowers from the club are able to access the training facilities at the college. The relationship has brought significant success at national and international level.^[3]

In 2017, the club moved to a new boathouse from 326 Bristol Road to the other side of the river near David Hook Way.^[4] The facility owned by a charity called Gloucester Boathouse Ltd aimed to raise £2 million to enable all of Gloucestershires's river sports organisations to have a home.^[5]

In 2018 Hartpury College gained University status which led to the formation of its own Hartpury University and College Boat Club in 2021 and severing its joint relationship with Gloucester RC. ^[6]

In 2023 the old boathouse was taken over by a holiday river cruise company.^[7]
