Welcome to Bradford on Avon Boat Club!
We are a friendly rowing and canoeing club based in the beautiful and historic town of Bradford on Avon. We have active men and women members, we cater for all ages from juniors to veterans and for all levels of experience from beginners upwards. Training takes place on a scenic stretch of the River Avon between Bradford on Avon and Avoncliffe. The club regularly competes at events throughout the UK and abroad, all year round. As well as training and racing, the club is also very sociable, with regular events from BBQs to training events and annual dinners.
Membership runs from 1st January to 31st December, with membership fees payable monthly on the 1st of each month by Direct Debit only. Membership automatically renews, unless you cancel by giving us one month’s notice, and in that event you cannot rejoin the club for the following 12 months.
