Due to Lake erosion and the lingering effects of C19 we are still not operating normally.
We will be back as soon as all is possible in a safe and sustainable way. 
We currently have 50+ people on our waiting list for Taster sessions which is our way into the Club for people with no previous experience.  If you have rowed and sculled before then we'd love to hear from you.  Sadly we are not able to offer any Taster sessions now until Spring 2022 - we don't take brand new rowers out in Winter when the weather and water are too cold for you to fall in love with the sport.  We have no paid staff for admin or coaching and the Club relies totally on volunteers who run the club alongside their own rowing, work and family lives. 

Welcome to the Ardingly Rowing Club website.

These pages contain useful information about the club for visitors and members alike. If your questions are not answered on the site, please contact us by using the email address above in the first instance, and we will do our best to answer you.

We would like to take this opportunity to remind you we offer Friend of Ardingly RC Membership for just £30 per year (no water access, simply a valued supporter of the Club).

The rowing club is relatively young (26^th anniversary this year) and offers rowing for all ages and experience levels, competing at local, national and international events throughout the year. We also cater for individuals who wish to take a more leisurely approach to rowing and just enjoy the sport at their own pace.

We are a Club run by and for its Members, you are expected to join in with at least some Club activities - such as maintenance, fundraising, coaching beginners, launch driving, management committee.  All our coaching and admin work is done by volunteers.  

We are based at Ardingly Reservoir in the heart of the beautiful Mid Sussex countryside, a wonderfully tranquil spot, roughly midway between Gatwick Airport and Brighton.
