Milton Keynes Rowing Club
MKRC is one of the great success stories for Milton Keynes sport, and we would like to introduce ourselves to people who may have previously been unaware of our presence. Based at Caldecotte Lake, we have seen our club rise through the ranks of British Rowing, and we want to invite you to our annual regatta, being held on Saturday, 1 3th September 201 4.
The last 12 months have seen us win Gold and Silver medals at the National Masters, a Gold medal at Henley Masters, break the womens world record for cross-channel rowing, and we have just won MK Sports Club of the Year. The club was established in 1995, which in rowing terms, makes us barely an infant, but like Milton Keynes itself, we are a new order that is experiencing great success amongst our competitors.

Early pre-season friendly matches are inevitably a bit disjointed, with new players still getting used to playing together and numerous substitutions in the second half, but performances in the 4-1 win over Bedford United and the exciting 5-4 defeat against Berkhamsted were very encouraging. The team looks to have the ability to score more goals than last season, and the occasional defensive disorganisation that let them down
at times in the Berkhamsted match should be sorted out by the time the league matches start. Everyone at the club is optimistic that Newport Pagnell Town will be challenging much higher up the UCL Premier Division than last season.
 One of the most commonly heard remarks from regular supporters during the first two pre-season friendly matches has been "Who is that player?" There are several new faces in the squad, together with a nucleus of players from last season, one or two popular 'old faces' returning to the club 88 Phonebox Magazine
Admission prices at Willen Road are the same as lastseason (Adults £5, Concessions £3, Under 1 6s free) and are excellent value for this level of non-league football. A season ticket at the unchanged price of £50 is particularly good value, giving admission to all 20 home first team league matches plus
