Burton Leander Rowing Club is the premiere rowing club in Burton on Trent and celebrated its 150th Anniversary in 1997. The club has seen successes at national and international level, with wins at Henley, The National Championships and The National Schools Regatta. Members of the junior squad regularly attend GB trials, the most recent selection was Liam Rose who competed in the GB vs France Regatta in Abbevile sur la Somme, France.
We are fortunate to have approximately 6KM of row able river, with an exciting regatta course, over 1100m from the Leicester Line Railway Bridge to a point just before the Ferry Bridge, and a straight sprint course over 450m. Burton Leander aims to enable its athletes to meet their aspirations through the provision of excellent training facilities both on and off the water, this includes Olympic weights facilities, Concept 2 rowing machines and quality coaching alongside a full fleet of racing boats

Club development
The last month has seen the arrival of 3 new singles, 2 new doubles/pairs and new coxless 4. With another new single scull still to come. None of this would have been possible without the generous assistance of Awards for All and the Youth Opportunities Fund providing the club with grants of £10,000 and £3000 respectively
Community Amateur sports club and club mark
