Barnes Bridge Ladies Rowing Club is a rowing club on the River Thames , based at the Civil Service Sports Club Boathouse, Dukes Meadows, Chiswick , West London . [1]
History
The club was originally called the Civil Service Ladies Rowing Association soon merging its boats from different departments as the Civil Service Ladies Rowing Club . It was for members of almost all central government departments and agencies. Mentions appear of it in press as early as 1928. [2]
By 1975 half of a World Championship eight was picked from the club to represent Great Britain at Holme Pierrepont National Watersports Centre – their boat becoming a large picture feature of a local newspaper. [3] These were Ann Cork, Jackie Darling, Susan "Sue" Handscomb and Margaret "Maggie" Lambourn. [3] Two of the coxed four and the cox also were chosen from the club. [3] All apart from Handscomb did likewise in Lucerne in 1974.
In 1997 it was renamed the Barnes Bridge Ladies Rowing Club as membership has become open to everyone. [4] The club is affiliated to British Rowing and the combined club/boathouse is shared with Cygnet Rowing Club . [5]
