Background

History

The club was founded as Chester-le-Street Rowing Club in 1888, initially rowing from a boathouse in a park that burnt down during the 1930s. After a dormant period the club was started again by Bob Heywood during the 1980s and by 2001 had increased members to the point where more boats were needed. The club recorded 63 wins during 2001. In recent years the club has produced several national champions, with the most recent being at the 2025 British Rowing Club Championships.
