Rowing races were first held on Talkin Tarn in the 1850’s and the Rowing Club was formed in 1859 by local towns-folk, several descendents of whom still live in the area. It is the oldest rowing club in the North of England with the exception of Tyne RC, and is the 14 th oldest non-university club in the country.
In recent years the Club has been very strong in Junior and Veteran Class and have achieved numerous successes with nearly 600 wins in 10 years at Open Regattas, Medals at the World Masters Championships plus two Silver and three Bronze Medals at The British National Rowing Championships and Junior Inter Regional Regatta.
Talkin Tarn Annual Regatta has grown considerably in recent years from a total entry of 20 in 1946 and 97 in 1988 to what it is today – very successful and one of the largest one day regatta outside London with total entries now in excess of 300.
The club is open to everyone and caters for those that want to compete, keep fit or just have a leisurely row around the Tarn. The membership age ranges from 10 to 74 and all new members of any age will be made most welcome.
