Annual Thames Rowing Event

ANNUAL THAMES ROWING EVENT

Farringdon Ward Club’s annual Thames rowing event will take place on Saturday 9 August 2025.

We will gather at Richmond Bridge Boathouses by 12 noon, row up to The  Anglers at Teddington (The Anglers at Teddington Lock ) Pub for lunch, and return for  5 p.m.  Some members may simply like to join the rowing party for lunch – at about 2.00 p.m.

Cost, excluding lunch, will be £20.

Transport:

Members who wish to drive should find parking in the road called "The Avenue" on the West side /Left  bank of the river at the immediate end of Twickenham Bridge, and from there walk over the Bridge to the right bank side and Richmond Boathouse which is just to the North of Richmond Bridge.

Club Members who just want to join us for lunch at The Anglers pub may have to park wherever they can find a space in Teddington, and walk, as the pub only has a small car park.  Members may also make arrangements to row upstream and handover to someone else for the return.

Richmond Railway Station is about half a mile from the Boathouses.  There are regular trains from London Waterloo – the 11:20 takes just 16 minutes and arrives at 11:36 a.m.

Dress appropriately - sunhats and sun cream advised, hopefully - but have a rainproof cagoule handy as well!

More details will be provided nearer the time – if you have any queries please ask Roger Pitts-Tucker, email: robert.tucker235@gmail.com
