Royal Chester Rowing Club is a rowing club based on the Groves in Chester, England.[1] It rows on the River Dee with both men's and women's squads and members ranging from juniors of 14 upwards to Veteran oarsmen and women[2] and hosts the North of England Head and Chester Long Distance sculls.
The boathouse is adjacent (on the east side) of The King's School Rowing Club.
The club was formed as the Chester Victoria Rowing Club on 9 July 1838, following a meeting at the Castle of Chester.[3] Two years later, in 1840, the club added the appellation of Royal after gaining Royal Patronage, becoming Royal Chester Rowing Club.[4]
Royals compete at events around the country, and in 2017 sent two eights to Henley Royal Regatta.[5]
