Ross Rowing Regatta

Description

Ross Rowing Club is one of the success stories of the town, each year over the August Bank Holiday the Ross Regatta brings boat crews and spectators from all over the country.  The river was always a major feature of the town and the club first came into being around 1870.  Meetings were held in the local pub, the Hope and Anchor, and it wasn’t until 1908 that the club could boast a boathouse.  With a unique facility, geographically positioned on the famous horseshoe bend of the Wye the club has gone from strength to strength and is proud to represent this area in competitions in South Wales, the Midlands and in National competitions.

The regatta opens with Dragon Boat Racing on Friday for crews of ten and a complete programme of races is run on Saturday and Sunday.  There are camping facilities next to the club, including a quiet field and breakfasts available on Saturday & Sunday.   For full details and entry forms, contact the Regatta Secretary
