PLEASE READ BELOW

I have recently moved the boat club web site to  www.shrewsbury.org.uk

I have been told that several boys have been unable to access this site. I understand that all boys should be able to access this site if their computer is set up correctly.

If you click on  www.shrewsbury.org.uk  you should 

either go straight to the school web site

or go to a page which tells you how to set up your computer so that you can access the school web site and then all of the boat club site including photographs.

The Royal Shrewsbury School Boat club is almost unique in being genuinely no more than a decent stone's throw from the school itself. The school's location, high on the banks of the Severn (shown below in flood), is the envy of rowing schools across the country, as is a recently built indoor rowing tank set into the river bank. Salopians are able to make use of these facilities all year round: many boys, especially from their second or third year upwards, make rowing their major sport for all three terms; others enjoy the sport at house level, either in regular competitions throughout the Michaelmas and summer terms, or in "bumps", the Oxbridge-style house bumping races which provide the climax to the summer term.
