Tawe Phoenix Boat Club

Will Garnier was President, Rob Jones was secretary and after a bit of work, they got an Eight (rowing) out for the Head of the River Race and raced at various events including Reading Town where they reached the final of the Senior 2 event.

The President and Secretary looked into moving the club to the River Tawe by the Morfa Stadium and secured a small space to keep boats there.

[2] The club was revived in 2004 by Tim Stickley, who found just one river-worthy boat in a shed by the university playing fields.

Membership has increased dramatically and the club's fleet of boats has grown over subsequent years, with different captains bringing new things to the club, notably a training camp and The Welsh Boat Race under Henry Hilsdon, a new trailer under Sophie Clarke-Hackston (club captain for 2 years) and a first boat race win under Jenny Staight.

[3] Members of the club include Paralympic and World Championship finalist rowers such as James Roberts in the TA category.
