BRC is based in a small, sleepy town on the South Coast, neighbouring Eastbourne and Hastings. Being based on the Sea, we are a coastal rowing club, competing in offshore races against crews from clubs scattered along the length of the South Coast, from HerneBay in the East to Falmouth in the West.

We do not however only restrict ourselves to coastal waters and regularly race against river clubs on their own territory and even anualy at such prestigious races as Henley, Oxford and Marlow Royal Regattas.
Bexhill is the most successful Rowing Club on the South Coast (if not the country) In the last 7 years Bexhill Rowing Club has accumulated 29 Coastal Championships, 8 South Coast Championships and 20 C.A.R.A Aggregates. Whilst doing so Bexhill has won the CARA league all 7 years and going by last years results (below) look to continue their form again this year....

2010 Grand Aggregate Winners 61 points, (next Worthing 19 points) .
CARA League Winners 836 Points (next Herne Bay 399 points)
INDIVIDUAL CHAMPIONSHIPS : Mens Senior Fours : Mens Junior Fours : Mens Senior Pairs : Mens Junior Pairs : Ladies Senior Pairs : Ladies Junior Pairs : Mens Senior Sculls : Mens Novice Sculls.
Though for Bexhill, Championship titles, and League wins are not enough, amongst Bexhill Rowing Club’s 60 members are 20 individuals who all hold both World and British Rowing Records. From breaking team records and individual records to setting World Firsts, Bexhill has forged an impressive list of rowers, proving they are the amongst best in the world.

Thinking of having a go?
Rowers can begin their careers from 11 years and upwards, infact we currently have a contigency of Novice rowers ageing from 12 years to 40+ We are a friendly well organized club, with a duty rotar system, so their is always some one available to take you through your first strokes.
Club nights through the week are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6pm onwards, and Sundays from 9am (unless a regatta day during the season) On your first trip to the club (assuming the whether allows it) you will be first given the basics on a rowing machine then taken out with an experienced crew onto the sea. A change of clothing, including footwear will be needed for each session, and expect to be cold on most occasions.
Please note that for the time being the club is a little further down the beach, Channel View East, next to the Sailing Club.
If you are interested in coming along but want some more information please contact either Club Captain; Phil McCory or Vice Captain; Kieran Cahill.
Or feel free to pop down on a club night an speak to a member then!
