The Times Clean It Up Campaign

Many at RRC feel strongly about the pollution of our river, and its impact on wildlife, environment and the health of those that swim, paddle or row on the Wye.

As it is starting to get a bit warmer looking back on some frosty photos.

A Bittersweet Heritage

Mention of the river Wye in its introduction – and a local link with the author Victoria Perry. Let’s be honest, with a surname like that she can’t be anything other than a Herefordshire girl (actually south wales but the border has bounced around over centuries so who’s being precious about a few miles here and there)

Seriously – a great and very readable book about an important subject.

All Abilities Welcome

More details on Spond – please come and welcome people.

Bring anyone you know who might like to learn about our club and how we can welcome new rowers with various abilities or challenging circumstances.
