Hinksey Sculling School is a community rowing club on the River Thames for junior rowers. The club is unusual in the fact that it operates from three venues across Oxfordshire, England.[1][2]
Venues[edit]
The first and original venue is for the beginners and is situated at the South Oxford Community Centre in Lake Street, Oxford, with some training on Hinksey Lake in Hinksey Park. The second venue (for club members aged in the 13 to 15 age bracket) is based at St Edward's School Boathouse on Godstow Road in Oxford, where it shares the boathouse with the St Edward's School Boat Club. The third and final venue (for club members aged in the 16 to 18 age bracket) is based at Radley College Boathouse in Lower Radley, Abingdon, where it shares the landing stage with the Radley College Boat Club.[3]
History[edit]
The club was founded in February 1998 and originally trained on the small Hinksey Lake before growing in size and then training the more experienced rowers at St Edward's and later Radley.[4]
In recent years, the club has had success at the 2022 British Rowing Junior Championships and 2023 British Rowing Junior Championships, which included winning two gold medals.[5]
Members have also won junior international honours at the World Junior Rowing Championships in 2022 and 2023, winning gold and silver medals. The 2023 Great Britain girl's eight was coached by Hinksey's chief coach, Bodo Schulenberg.
Alumni have gone on to join large successful British and American university rowing programmes, including Oxford University Boat Club, Newcastle University Boat Club, University of California Berkeley, Stanford University and Syracuse University.
