Social Events
Although we train and race hard, we try not to take ourselves too seriously, so as well as the rowing and sculling side of things, we have an active social life too.
There are usually a couple of "formal" events each year, the End of Season Dinner (at which club annual awards are made) and a Christmas Party (although last year's was held this January!). In addition, we have other social events - recent ones have included a Quiz Night (with Pizza), Bowling and a Pasta night. All members and partners (and children) are welcome to these and we've had some great evenings. We've also recently re-introduced the "Food after Training" on Monday evenings following circuits, where for a nominal fee you can get a meal along with others in the clubhouse.
2013 Events Calendar
So far, for this year we have a few dates planned in - these are likely to change and have more things added, so either keep visiting this page or (for club members) keep an eye open for e-mails!

Gold and Silver for MKRCThis year saw us build on last year's result at the British Rowing Masters Championship, coming home with a GOLD and SILVER medal. The Gold went to the Ladies' Coxed four of Lou, Heidi, Paula and Karen, coxed by Becks. Racing as a "C" crew against both "A" and "B" boats (with handicapping) they dominated the race from start to finish to really stamp their mark on this category. Helen and Jenny showed massive improvement, having missed out on the final last year, they powered through to take Silver in the "B" doubles. As well as the medal winners, there were other fine performances from many other Milton Keynes boats. |
WEHORR 2013The ladies squad followed up last year's impressive position in the Women's Eights Head of the River race by improving further in this year's race. Their final position was 67th overall, out of 320 entries. Another excellent performance by the MKRC ladies. |
