With a new Centre for Rowing, Oxford Brookes can secure its place among the world's elite rowing clubs
Steve Williams winning in the Coxless IV in Beijing 2008
Our haul of gold medals at Olympic and World Championship level stretches back more than a decade. Most recently, Brookes oarsmen won a gold and three silver medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and we aim to achieve even more triumphs with your help.
Expanding the squad’s modest boathouse on the River Thames near Wallingford will give our athletes the training facilities to match their ambitions and achievements. But reaching the target of £1million will only be possible with you – the university’s supporters and friends.
By backing the Centre for Rowing Campaign you have the chance to push Great Britain towards even more glory in London 2012 and add to Oxford Brookes’ tally of Olympic gold medals won by Ben Hunt-Davis, Fred Scarlett and Rowley Douglas at Sydney and Steve Williams at Athens and Beijing.
The venue for the London Olympics rowing regatta will be Dorney Lake at Windsor just downriver from our crew’s base. On what more perfect stage could Brookes’ athletes excel?
