Welcome to the website for Upper Thames Rowing Club (UTRC).

Upper Thames is uniquely located on the Henley Royal Regatta course, and provides top class rowing and training facilities for a diverse and enthusiastic membership.

We believe our location is one of the best rowing venues anywhere in the world, and we aim to provide high performance equipment and facilities to complement this.

Our clubhouse was extended and improved in a £1 million development in 2009, and our new boathouse, housing a wide range of boat types, was completed in 2005.

Our membership includes a number of men and women Olympians and world champions, and we also run pro-active novice, veteran and junior programmes, who support a thriving social scene.

We pride ourselves on being inclusive and friendly, and try to work with our local community where possible to encourage the enjoyment of the river for everyone.

We welcome new members and visitors to the club.

You will find all the information you require on this website, and can refer any questions you have to the relevent people listed here : Club Contact List

Upper Thames Henley Veteran Regatta

Friday 9th and Saturday 10th July 2010

Upper Thames Rowing Club runs the world famous Henley Veteran regatta every July, the week after Henley Royal Regatta, and has done so since 1994.

Crews from all over the world come to compete, and enjoy racing on the historic course. For many competitors it is a chance to relive their experience of racing at Henley in years past, and for others it provides an opportunity to race over the track for the first time.

The competition is intense but so is the enjoyment. When the racing is over there is ample time to catch up with old friends over a drink in the clubhouse, which is situated on the finish line. The course is shortened to 1000 metres to give every age category the best chance to shine.
