For many years the River Thames in Oxford has been used as a place of leisure and pleasure, activity and competition.

Falcon is one of the oldest rowing clubs in Oxford. Since its foundation in 1869, the Club has provided a place for local men and women to come together, make friendships, learn new skills and keep fit.  Nowadays we offer rowing, canoeing and kayaking to the residents of Oxford and beyond. We continue to be a thriving club with strong links to our local community. We aim to provide a safe and friendly environment for people to learn new boating skills, to train and compete or to just unwind and relax on the water. Our membership is open to all and the Falcon boathouse is a focal point for people of all ages and backgrounds to come together and enjoy the river

You’ll find us just upstream of Donnington Bridge in East Oxford (postcode for satnav is OX4 4BJ; see the contacts page for how to find us), where most Saturday and Sunday mornings, or weekday evenings in summer, you will find someone to chat to about rowing, kayaking or open canoeing.

All this wouldn't be possible without the generosity of our supporters.

Clubhouse 150

Throughout Falcon’s history the Club has never had its own Club House. As part of our 150th anniversary the goal is to have plans and funding in place to be able to build one, so we have somewhere to train and socialise off water and support our wider community activities.

Having consulted the whole club membership via a questionnaire the clear message is that we need:

• better changing room/shower facilities
• improved social space for people to meet
• more space for boat storage
• expanded and better space for gym and fitness training

This time we're determined to get the funding in place and to make the project a reality! We've made a really good start through a combination of generous donations, pledges and small grants. However, we need to raise more if we are to build the facility that Falcon deserves and to allow us to meet our expectations for the future.

We can't do this without your help: read more here
