History

The club formed its first boathouse in 1985 at Old Quay in Howley. Later that decade the club bought three pre-fabricated cottages in Hull and rebuilt them at the present site to form its second boathouse in 1989. The club created a Head of The Mersey race before its landmark Lottery Grant. Training time and facilities were given to Bridgewater High School and then Lymm High School. [3]

The third, current boathouse and clubhouse were commissioned in 2012. [3]

The club colours are primrose yellow, white and royal blue. [4]
