It is with great regret that Liverpool Victoria Rowing Club announces that Merseyside Regatta, due to be held on Saturday 2nd May 2020, will not now go ahead on that day. Like every other rowing club in the country, we have had to stop all rowing and training activity at the boathouse until the Coronavirus outbreak is over. Club members are continuing to ...

The club held its annual Head of the Float on Saturday 30th November. Perhaps as a result of many other events in the North West, West Midlands and Yorkshire being cancelled due to river conditions, we had an almost full entry of 91 crews.
