Adelaide Rowing Club

More

Adelaide Rowing Club is located in Adelaide, Australia. Formed in 1882 on the banks of the River Torrensas the I'Zingari Rowing Club, the Club has had a rich and colorful past over its 130 year life-span. The Club's current boatshed on the River Torrens is the third edition, after the first and second sheds were destroyed by flood in 1889 and fire in 1931 respectively. The Adelaide Rowing Club Function Centre is situated on the Southern Bank of the Torrens Lake (between Morphett Street & King William Street), immediately behind the Convention Centre, providing a wonderful venue for birthday and engagement parties, wedding receptions, Christmas and corporate functions. The Clubroom, which is on the first level of the boathouse, commands sweeping views from the Morphett St bridge and Memorial Drive, across to Adelaide Oval to Elder Park, King William St and the Festival Theatre. Being an active sports club founded in 1882, the clubroom reflects its rich history, with many original photographs dating from the late 1880's to the present day. Many of the Club's trophies are on display, some adorning the walls alongside the Club's ornate "Honour rolls" and its lists of past office bearers. It is a room full of traditional character, with highlights provided by wood paneling and exposed wooden beams.
