The only food still on the Upstream Lawn will be "pizza please". Outside bar: Where the Outside Bar has previously been situated will be a covered seating space for members and their guests to augment the capacity of the main club house, away from the noise of the racing and tannoy of the mound for those who would prefer this.

The 2025 Annual Dinner will be hosted, for the first time, by Vesta Rowing Club. Space is at a premium at VRC’s quaint Tideway abode, so instead, this event will be adding to the list of great historical events to grace the nave of the historic church of St Mary’s, Putney. Chief amongst those being the Putney Debates of 1647, although we don’t expect as much debate about the nature of government on our night(?!).

Membership fees are due now as every year, for some reason members who had a direct debit setup prior to 2020 have not been processed, more modern ones via the Gocardless system have been. The membership secretary is investigating and all members have received an email on the matter.
The Remenham Club
“One of the new features on the course is the charming little bungalow erected by the Remenham Club on the towpath side, just below the Grosvenor Club enclosure. Its position is in its way unrivalled, for it is the only place from which it is possible to see both the start and the finish of every race” Field magazine - 8th July 1911
The Remenham Club is a membership of the founding clubs - London Rowing Club, Vesta Rowing Club, Thames Rowing Club, Twickenham Rowing Club, Kingston Rowing Club, Molesey Boat Club and Staines Boat Club.
Henley Regatta
ROWING AT HENLEY
As the Regatta was instituted long before national or international rowing federations were established, it occupies a unique position in the world of rowing. It has its own rules and is not subject to the jurisdiction either of the governing body of rowing in the U.K. (British Rowing) or of the International Rowing Federation (F.I.S.A.), but is proud of the distinction of being officially recognised by both these bodies.
