Now in it’s 3rd year the Midlands Indoor Rowing Championships will this year be held on 22nd April 2018. Last year we had 115 competitors from across the country pitting themselves against each other in a wide range of categories.

This year we have moved to a new location, Solihull 6th Form College. The venue is just as big with capacity for well over 40 machines competing!! Parking will be easier too!! The Junction 5 of the M42 motorway is 5 minutes away making access even easier!
