Dittons is a friendly club, always keen to welcome new members, previous rowing and punting experience is not required.

It’s up to you whether you want row or punt recreationally or if you want to take part in regattas and race.

If you want to go further, there’s the opportunity to take part in events such as the Great River Race from Canary Wharf to Richmond or join an expedition down the navigable, non-tidal Thames from Lechlade to Teddington. Whether you only fancy an outing once a week or wish to train more frequently, you will find other members with a similar level of interest.
