About North Shore Rowing Club

North Shore Rowing Club is a grassroots rowing club at 1A Northcote Road in Takapuna, Auckland, which the club says has been rowing since 1874 and is one of the oldest clubs in New Zealand. It offers school rowing, club rowing and masters rowing. The club's learn-to-row programme runs from its Lake Pupuke training venue, and masters squads and learn-to-row courses for adults also use the lake. Its intermediate, club and senior programmes are based on the Upper Harbour and prepare crews for regattas, including the New Zealand Rowing Championships. The club does not recruit athletes aged 16 or under. It takes rowers, scullers, coxswains and adults returning to the sport.

The club's values are respect, aspiration, team and enjoyment. It sells casual and racing kit to rowers and supporters, and it is raising money for a new facility, with pledges recognised on a feature wall, the boat bays or the building.
