The Warwick Rowers Club has trained solidly for six months….in order to strip off and bare it all for their beautifully produced 2015 calendar (available now www.warwickrowers.org)

  • The famously clothes-resistant university athletes have become somewhat of a cult phenomenon after record breaking sales last year following coverage on Good Morning America and E! Entertainment News – raising more in the first 24 hours than in the previous four years and even causing their website to crash!
  • Raising nearly £50,000 for their university sport and charity, the team won Cause Related Calendar of the Year and People’s Choice Award at the 2014 National Calendar Awards and was a favourite amongst high-profile supporters including Stephen Fry, Sir Ian McKellan, Kylie Minogue, Gok Wan and Boy George.
  • Due to last year’s success the team hope to raise more than just a smile and are donating over half its profits to university sport and also Sport Allies – a charity initiative set up by the boys to challenge homophobia in sport.
  • Members of the rowing club have been working with other students, including representatives of Warwick Pride, the university’s LGBT organisation for students, professionals from Ernst & Young, and leading figures in the voluntary sector to roll Sport Allies out nationally, and to begin the process of creating an independent registered charity.

Warwick Castle

Warwick Castle will be offering a thrilling new long boating experience on the River Avon this summer from July 2012 in association with Warwick Boats.

The new boating experience is exciting, adrenalin pumping, and great fun for all the family! Paddle to power the boat, row to the beat of a drum, enjoy Britain’s ultimate fun. Suitable for complete beginners and children with experienced instructors and a Director of Imagination for entertainment and historical updates on board all boats.

Exhilarating river rides offer fun, excitement and adventure as the ultimate memorable family experience this summer. All this, set against the historic backdrop of Warwick Castle creates a fun addition to your action-packed day out.

Boating originated at Warwick Castle in 1898, when the current Boat House was built. The Countess of Warwick had the very latest of boats, an ‘Electric Launch’ with carpets, blinds and awnings!

Warwick Boats will offer a Long Boat ride on a thirty minute timed ticket experience priced at £5pp. Boats will seat between 10-20 people. Tickets can be bought on site from the Boating Ticket Hut. Paddles and buoyancy aids will be provided. The minimum age to take part with an accompanying adult is 4 years old. The minimum age to take part without an accompanying adult is 8 years of age.

The boat ride will pass the River Island, offering viewpoints of the mighty Trebuchet and the Jousting knights during the summer.

Commenting on the exciting new opening, General Manager Tim Harrison Jones says: “We are very proud to be working with Warwick Boats on this new experience. We want to offer something with a bit of edge to enthral and inspire this summer.”

This initiative is part of a new local strategy plan by Warwick Castle to support local businesses.
