Curlew is a rowing club in East London and is open to all ages and abilities. Although very successful, with crews at Henley for 10 of the last 11 years, we pride ourselves on our friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Committee

Curlew is admirably served by a group of dedicated rowers who make sure that the rest of us can concentrate on the rowing. The committee has a couple of new posts this year to help the smooth-running of the club, and there is a mix of returning and new members.
