Originally founded as a rowing club in 1869, Falcon now offers rowing, canoeing and kayaking to the residents of Oxford and beyond, providing a place for locals to come together, make friends, learn new skills and keep fit.
Falcon is a thriving club with strong links to our local community, providing a safe and friendly environment for people to learn new boating skills, to train and compete or to just unwind and relax on the water. Our membership is open to all and the new Falcon boathouse is a focal point for people of all ages and backgrounds to come together and enjoy the river.
We have an expanding Outreach Programme, designed to strengthen ties with our community, including an Open Day, work with local schools, disabled and community groups.
The club is run entirely by volunteers and all members are encouraged to give their time to share their love of water sports.
In 2023 Falcon opened the doors to its own new state of the art boathouse; the first time the club ever had its own clubhouse. As part of our 150th anniversary in 2019 we set a goal to have plans and funding in place to finally be able to build one. After some incredible work by a group of members, donations from large numbers of club users, funding bodies and very generous individuals, construction began in September 2020. The trustees and whole club continue to express our gratitude to everyone that made the seemingly impossible possible, resulting in such a fabulous facility for our on and off-water activities.
You’ll find us just upstream of Donnington Bridge in East Oxford (postcode for satnav is OX4 4BJ), where most Saturday and Sunday mornings, or weekday evenings in summer, you will find someone to chat to about rowing, kayaking or open canoeing.
The club cafe is open at weekends, staffed by volunteers.RetroSearch is an open source project built by @garambo | Open a GitHub Issue
