Oxford Amateur Rowing Club

OARC is a close-knit and friendly rowing club based in the city centre of Oxford. The club is open to anyone over 18 and includes rowers of all ages and abilities. We offer sweep rowing and sculling – both competitively and recreationally. 

OARC was founded in 2004 by a group of Oxford University members looking to row over the summer break. Originally known as “Oxford Academicals Rowing Club” (fondly known by many as “Accies”) due to its academic origins, OARC recently changed its name to “Oxford Amateur Rowing Club” to reflect its community-focused nature.

OARC is raising money to fund a new permanent home on the river in Oxford. If you can, please donate using these links:

Donate £10   Donate £20   Donate £50

All donations warmly appreciated. If you would like to donate a different amount, please contact our treasurer at treasureroarc@gmail.com

While raising funds for a new boathouse, OARC is currently based at Meadow Lane, Oxford OX4 4BJ.
