The club has members at all levels, from national squad through seniors and veterans to juniors and novices.

The club also competes in the Cambridge Town Bumps, which provides an enjoyable end to the summer regatta season.

Rob Roy organises the Cambridge Small Boats Head which is held in early October each year (for coxed and coxless pairs, and single and double sculls), and the Cambridge Autumn Head which is held in mid October each year (for coxed and coxless fours and quads, and eights).

On 5 June 1880 an item appeared in the Cambridge Chronicle as follows: "A new boat club has been started by the Church Temperance Society of Cambridge and Chesterton under the name of 'Rob Roy' and it will be open to members of the various branches.
