Maidenhead’s Women’s Squad is now firmly established on the local rowing scene. Our membership continues to increase, and we still welcome rowers of all levels – and all ages. We also welcome those who are interested in coxing – so if you like being bossy – give us a call, and we will provide the training. We generally look after our coxes VERY well – buying them breakfast after early morning outings, for example!

Experienced rowers will generally be able to row in a crew fairly quickly, whilst those who are new to rowing go through our 6 week ‘Learn 2 Row” course. Upon completion of Learn 2 Row, and subject to fitness levels, the novice rower is invited to join our development women’s squad (please see the development women’s page) To enter the senior women’s squad a slightly higher level of fitness and sculling competency is required. Please enquire with the Captain on the current competency levels.

Our main focus for the Summer Regatta season has been Womens Henley, where we had 2 crews entered in Club Fours. Both crews rowed well, with the ‘A’ crew coming up against a strong Canadian crew in the second round, and the ‘B’ crew were unfortunately beaten by 1 foot – also in the second round.

Crews at all status levels – from Novice through to S2 have enjoyed success in other Regattas – including Reading Amateur,  Llandaff, (where we always enjoy the Saturday party!), and again at Maidenhead, on a blistering hot Saturday.

Most Squad members are now fitting in some well-earned holidays, before starting to look towards Winter training – although there are still members to be found out sculling most days – including the ‘Sunrise Club’ – who are out on the water a couple of times a week at 6am!
