Birmingham Rowing Club is an amateur rowing club, based at Birmingham in England. It is situated on Edgbaston Reservoir in the centre of Birmingham. The club was founded in 1873 although there is reference to a Birmingham Soh club using the reservoir earlier in 1859.[1]
The club, which serves Birmingham is an open rowing club for men, women, adults, juniors and veterans. It is affiliated to the ARA.
The club's earliest win at Henley Royal Regatta was the Wyfold Challenge Cup in 1904.[2] A dearth of further successes was ended with successes in the late 1940s and 1950s with Ken Tinegate, Graham Beech and George Justicz.[3] The club's president is Sir Adrian Cadbury.
