All rowers share in an athletic tradition of excellence, challenge, sportsmanship, and competition. The rich history behind crew is constantly changing with the induction of many new collegiate programs each year. A race in 1852 between Harvard and Yale makes rowing the oldest intercollegiate event in America. Since that day, The United States Rowing Association-USRowing has acquired more than 30,000 rowers across the country as members. The popularity of rowing has increased the diversity of the association's members and of the organization itself. Established in 1872, USRowing is the oldest national governing body for an amateur sport in the United States. Collegiate rowers achieve the highest awards for academic performance and graduation rates.

HISTORY: What's happened at the club Avon County Rowing Club was formed in 1973, following a merger of the former Avon and Bristol clubs. This ended a tradition of friendly rivalry, stretching back to the previous century, between oarsmen training in the colours of a succession of clubs based at Saltford. Henry Knight, founder of Avon Rowing Club, coaching at Saltford. In 1865, Henry Marvin Knight persuaded three colleagues employed in his father's Milsom Street Furnishers, Auctioneers and Estate Agents to join him in founding the original Avon Rowing Club at Bath. Their enthusiasm was stirred by public interest in rowing since the first Bath Grand Regatta in July 1849 for crews representing Bath, Bristol and Oxford, in a series of races over the Saltford straight. The regatta struggled through a series of financial crises until Henry Knight's club linked with Bristol Ariel as joint promoters in 1874. In 1890, the event acquired its long-time identity as Saltford Regatta, when the costs included "Boy to hold Umpire's horses - two shillings." Saltford Regatta was staged for the last time in 1972. In an age when no man "who earned a living with his hands" was considered eligible for the sport of rowing, Avon competed at Henley and became the first provincial club to win the renowned Thames Cup at the Metropolitan Regatta in 1879. In 1913, a Night Watchman was hired, and the Police alerted, following a threat by local Suffragettes to burn down the regatta boat tents and interfere with racing. They did not appear and the ladies fulfilled their "traditional" role of wearing "best dresses and hats", preparing teas and shouting polite encouragement to the, then, all male crews.

National team rowing disappointment Staff and wire reports For the first time Egyptian rower Ali Ibrahim, who is seeded number two in the world, came back empty-handed. Ibrahim participated in the World Rowing Championship in Germany which ended on 12 September. In the men's singles sculling competition Ibrahim made his way to the semifinals in the lead. He clocked 7:23.71 minutes followed by the Italian Giovanni Calabrese who timed 7:26.42. The Egyptian press praised the hero and expected him to break the world record. Breaking all expectations Ibrahim was not able to qualify for the finals. It was raining hard on the day of the qualifiers, where Ibrahim is used to heat and clear skies. On the other hand Britain's coxless fours battled home ahead of France and Italy to give Steve Redgrave a record eighth gold medal. Ignoring the cold and rainy conditions, James Cracknell, Tim Foster, Matthew Pinsent and Redgrave stormed to the front from the opening stroke and never relinquished their lead. Yet twice over the 2,000 meter course the Britons were forced to fend off determined challenges first from the Italians and then from the French before they crossed first in a world championship record time of five minutes, 48.06 seconds.

Steve describes his early days on the River Thames in his new autobiography: 'I remember my first time on the water very clearly. I really enjoyed it . . . Whether I was good bad or indifferent on that first occasion I will never know.' Steve must have been good because within two weeks he was in the school crew and a month later won the Avon County School Regatta in May, 1977. He writes: 'It was a brilliant day. It didn't enter my mind that we had a chance of success.' Just seven years later, Steve was an Olympic rower claiming his first gold at Los Angeles in 1984.

The History of New Zealand Rowing A NEW ZEALAND SPORTING SUCCESS STORY A BRIEF OUTLINE THE ORIGINS Ever since the first people set foot in Aotearoa, water has been one of the most important transport resources. The mighty Waka, Tiwai, moved people and goods around our shores for hundreds of years. The arrival of the European (1830 - 1860) saw the introduction of a wide variety of sailing and human powered craft. The earliest form of racing recorded was in whaleboats. These boats were of broad beam and clinker built. They were powered by upto 12 oarsmen sitting two abreast in the boat. It was popular throughout the country and is considered the forerunner of the sport of rowing in this country. The first Rowing club to be officially formed is considered to be the CanterburyRowing Club in Christchurch in 1861.(There seems to be much conflicting evidence on this point - even the date varies between 1861 and 1868) Many whaling ships still visited New Zealand harbours and whale boat racing continued, often involving high stakes, for many years regattas were open to both amateurs and professionals. This uneasy alliance continued until 1887. Other rowing clubs had developed by this time, so on March 16th 1887 at the instigation of William Fitzgerald of the Star Boat Club, Wellingtonrepresentatives of 9 Clubs formed the New Zealand Amateur Rowing Association.The first Patron was Sir W.F.D.Jervois, J.O.James of Christchurch was the first President and A.G.Biss of Wellington was the Secretary.

Rowing History Club History History has many important examples of our ancestors as rowers - Roman warships, Viking longboats and Venetian galleys - but the first recorded boat with oars is on an Egyptian wall relief dated about 3300BC. With each new form of transportation there came a desire to race - and rowing boats were no exception. In Britain, racing developed on the Thames from the time when only two bridges existed, so that crossing was largely by rowing boats. The watermen who rowed these boats competed against each other often for large stakes placed by their upper-class clientelle. The most famous race, which took place for the first time in 1716, is the Doggett coat and Badge race for single scullers. This race is the oldest in the world and, largely unchanged, still takes place today between apprentice watermen on the Thames. By 1811, Eton boys were competing in England in eights. Rowing was supposed to debut in the first modern Games in Athens in 1896. Unfortunately, rough weather caused a change of plan and the event was postponed until the 1900 Paris Games, which featured five events for male crews only. Today, the two best known rowing occasions are the University Boat Race, rowed annually from Putney to Mortlake, and Henley Royal Regatta. The latter, although an event which attracts many crews of international standard, is the pinnacle of the regatta calendar for the club oarsman, to whom the opportunity to compete there is everything.

THE STORY SO FAR... The idea of a museum began at the Olympic Games in 1984 where a temporary rowing exhibition was staged in Santa Barbara as part of the Olympic Arts Festival. This exhibition demonstrated a wealth, depth and breadth of artefacts and history connected with the sport of rowing. A group of enthusiasts in Britain decided that something more permanent was required and that it should be situated in the nursery of rowing, Henley-on-Thames It became clear to the group that there was an important story to be told about Rowing in relation to the environment, and in particular the history of the River Thames and Henley . Such a concept could become of real interest to visitors to the region and benefit local education authorities, so the group decided to form itself into both a registered company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. Following initial fund-raising, a detailed feasibility and market research study endorsed the viability of a River and Rowing Museum. Award-winning international architect, David Chipperfield , was appointed to design the Museum on the prime riverside location of Mill Meadows.

The 1988 Olympic Games Extract from Chapter XVI of A History of St Catherine's Rowing 1875-1999 [written by Joanne Gough] 21st September, 5:30 am The coach sped through the pre-dawn darkness, complete with police escort flashing blue lights down the empty roads. This was it at last - the day the British Women's Coxed Four had a chance for a place in an Olympic final. Now we had to prove that we were capable of everything we'd dreamed and boasted about. Steve Gunn, our coach, was confident. I knew we were fast enough, but still the dread of failure sat in the back of my mind ... 8:20 am At last we were getting the boat out to race and trying not to look at the Canadians and Poles on the next jetty. The Bulgarians, we knew, were too fast for us, and we had to come second of four to make the final. The boat went beautifully in the warm-up, as it had done every time we'd rowed in the last few weeks. In no time at all we were backing onto the starting gate.

60. New Haven Rowing Club: History history of the NHRC Competitive rowing in racing shells has been a part of sessionscould prepare these rowers for US National and olympic rowing Team tryouts. http://www.newhavenrowingclub.org/general/history.htm

History of the NHRC Competitive rowing in racing shells has been a part of America's athletic scene for over 100 years. Harvard and Yale carry on their rowing battles every June on the Thames or the Charles Rivers, high schools and colleges boat their best oarsmen and oarswomen in fall and spring to vie for their respective championships, and independent rowing clubs challenge each other to rowing duels as often as an occasion can be conjured up. In 1970, Yale Rowing coach, Tony Johnson, had a problem. During the academic year he worked with many qualified oarsmen, but, when classes stopped he had no formal program to continue their training. He wanted to build a program wherein the better collegiate rowers and selected post-collegiate rowers could train throughout the summer. Only an intense schedule of rigorous racing workouts and technical sessions could prepare these rowers for U.S. National and Olympic Rowing Team tryouts. Being an ingenious fellow, he founded the New Haven Rowing Club. As a club, he could carry on organized practices and races all year long. His problem was solved. His crews competed in the 1970 and 1971 National Team trials and in the Olympic Team trials of 1972. Since then, New Haven Rowing Club teams have won many national and international honors.
