Located on one of the finest stetches of the Thames the Masters squad at Reading RC has a vibrant mix of men’s and women’s rowers and scullers of all abilities. Whether you are an experienced and competitive rower looking to compete at national or international level, someone returning to rowing or would like to learn to row we have a crew for you.

The Masters squad is one of the largest and most varied within the club, supporting over 90 active male and female members. Many of our members are very experienced and competitive rowers and scullers, while many have learnt to row at Reading on one of our excellent learn-to-row courses and some have returned to rowing after a break.

With excellent modern facilities on one of the finest stretches of the Thames we pride ourselves on welcoming and supporting all levels of rowers and scullers. Many of our squad regularly compete and win at both national and international levels, whilst many of the squad come to enjoy a satisfying paddle and just keep fit.

The Masters regularly send crews to Vets Tideway Heads and World Masters Regatta, alongside more local races such as Henley Masters Regatta.

The squad train throughout the year, on both land and water, with a variety of courses and coaching available to help members improve or refresh their technique and get the most of out of their rowing or sculling.

Many of the Masters squad are involved with the running of the club and there is an active social side to the squad with regular events and activities. The main training sessions for the master’s squad are on a Saturday and Sunday with additional weekday evening outings during the summer months.
