The annual British Rowing Awards ceremony was held on 20th January – this year’s had to be held virtually but this means you can go to the BR website and catch up on all the stories here.
The Awards recognise the herculean efforts of the entire rowing community across the country, rowers, volunteers and supporters in all sorts of settings to maintain, and even grow the sport during these so-challenging times. |You can find all the citations on this page.
