It is the British Rowing Senior Championships this weekend, held in Nottingham, and we have 5 athletes representing the University. On Saturday, USBC’s Sam Bodkin is racing in the U23 lightweight double category with Molesey athlete Ash Cowley. Then on Sunday, we have the senior women’s quad of Maile Wedgewood, Cécile Flavin, Sophie Hossack and Lizzie MacCann racing in the U23 category. Details of race times over the weekend will be on our story so keep an eye out for how our athletes get on! #britchamps #yeahsurrey #quadsquad @teamsurrey @uniofsurrey @britishrowing

Last year, USBC had an extremely successful Crowdfunding campaign. It allowed us to purchase a new women’s 8+ which is a huge asset for the club. It is now time for the boys to have a boat they are proud of. Our current men’s 8+, Dick Child, needs a refurbishment. The hull of the boat is in good condition however the riggers and backstays need some TLC. Our aim is to raise £2000 which we believe is completely achievable and it will enable us to give the men’s 8+ the love and care that it needs. Last year at BUCS regatta, the beginner men came 5th in this boat. This year we want them to come first and with your help we can make this happen! A better boat = more speed = more wins.

The season is well underway for the USBC squad. Clocking the miles and putting down some fat watts. The senior men’s 4- looking speedy in this afternoons (very wet) technical session. We are also all very excited to be having the beginner recruits down at the club tomorrow to see how fast they can go on the erg, their technical skill in the tank and answer any burning questions about the season ahead of them! #yeahsurrey #buckethatforthewin #BlueAndGold #rowing @teamsurrey @uniofsurrey

Tonight, our PlaySport Activator, Fiona, is hosting the first indoor rowing PlaySport session of the year. The first session is a free drop-in (sessions after today are £3) and gives you an opportunity to learn the correct technique on the rowing machine, get active, meet new people and most of all have fun! The rowing machine engages all of the large muscle groups and is a really good all-round exercise. The session is from 7-8pm and is in the Wellbeing Room at Surrey Sports Park. It is open to anyone and everyone, of any ability or knowledge of the rowing machine. We look forward to seeing lots of you there! #playsport #indoorrowing #learntorow @teamsurrey @surreyunion @surreysportpark @ Surrey Sports Park
