The 2024 Affiliation window is NOW open!

WSR Affiliation (1st April 2024 – 31st March 2025)

(Scroll to the bottom of this page to go direct to the 2024 Affiliation Form!)

Before affiliation can be accepted for the year starting in April 2024 WSR requires some basic information from your club. This is to enable us to keep the necessary records and to update our information on each club in our database.

As an affiliated member of Welsh Amateur Rowing Association Limited and ultimately Welsh Rowing, WSR must ensure that each of our clubs complies with their regulations. Any amateur rowing club or club that has facilities for rowing, situated in Wales, may be affiliated to the Association on becoming approved by a two-thirds majority of the executive committee of WSR. Each member club thereby binds itself to observe the rules of WSR.

Acceptance is not automatic, we must satisfy ourselves that every club is run in an acceptable way before affiliation can be granted. More details are contained in the following document:
