Marlow Rowing Club

Club Clothing

Official Kit

The club kit is supplied by New Wave. Any queries contact Laura Todd.  Laura does hold a small supply of standard items (mainly all in ones) so if you want something fast then it's worth asking if she has it in stock. The general clothing order form is here (xls).

Welfare and Child Protection

Marlow Rowing Club is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of its younger members. We believe that it is important that members, coaches, club officials and parents associated with the club should, at all times show respect and understanding for their safety and welfare. Junior members are encouraged to be open at all times and to share any concerns or complaints that they may have about any aspect of the club with their coach or, if that is difficult or inappropriate, with the Captain or the Club Welfare Officer (CWO). The CWO is responsible for advising on child protection matters and for coordinating action within the club on receipt of any concerns or referrals. Our CWO is Belinda Ford; she can be contacted on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

We are committed to making sure that everyone who participates in rowing can do so in an enjoyable and safe environment. To safeguard and protect young athletes, we work within guidance set out by British Rowing:

• We believe that the welfare of young people is paramount – our aim is to ensure that all are protected when training or competing.
• We enable everyone, whatever their age, culture, disability, gender, language, racial origin, religious beliefs or sexual identity - to enjoy a fun and safe environment.
• We take all reasonable steps to protect young athletes from harm, discrimination or degrading treatment, and respect their rights, wishes and feelings.
• We take seriously any suspicions and allegations of poor practice or abuse, and will respond swiftly and appropriately to them.
• We ensure that all adults who work with young athletes, including our coaches and volunteers, are recruited with regard to their suitability for that responsibility; receive guidance and/or training in good practice and child protection procedures; and are subject to checks by the Criminal Records Bureau at the enhanced level.

How to get here

How to Get Here

By Road

Marlow is next to the A404 between High Wycombe (M40) and Maidenhead (M4). Turn off at the roundabout on the A404 and come through Bisham. Marlow Rowing club is located by the southern end of Marlow Bridge, just on Marlow Bridge Lane

Please note: space for parking at the club is very limited. The hotel opposite, The Compleat Angler kindly allow us to use their lower car park (the one with stones) for overflow parking. PLEASE DO NOT USE THEIR MAIN PARKING AREA (the tarmac bit) - we are very lucky to have this facility and it will be withdrawn if misused.

There are also public car parks nearby in Marlow.

There is space for bicycle parking at the club (under the steps to the club and by the boat shed).

By Rail

Marlow has a railway station, which lies at the end of a branch line from Maidenhead and passes through Furze Platt, Cookham and Bourne End (where the train reverses direction or at some peak times you have to change train - check). The service is usually hourly. Check National Rail or download timetables from the Marlow-Maidenhead Passengers Association.

To get to MRC from the station is about a 10 minute walk and quite easy. Walk up Station Approach and you will see a pub called the Marlow Donkey ahead of you. Bear left past the Marlow Donkey on Station Road (i.e. not hard left down Lock Road) and you will pass a wall with overhanging ivy and then pass a barber's, Hunt's Hardware, Carvell's Newsagent and the Prince of Wales pub. Keep along Station Road and you will reach a double roundabout and Burger's chocolate shop/bakery/cafe. If you look to your left you will see the bridge, and MRC is at the other end of it.

By Bus

Bus timetables can be obtained from the Marlow-Maidenhead Passengers Association.

The President's Fund

The President's Fund was established to encourage members of the club with ambition to represent their country. 2011 is the 20th anniversary year of its foundation and in that period the Fund has been able to help a significant number of young members to achieve their ambition.
