[edit] History
The club was first based in the now demolished Crown Sceptre Pub in Greenwich[1]. The club occupied the "Crown and Sceptre" until the building was demolished in 1934. So after 68 years the club moved to the "Trafalgar Tavern" [1] where they had a Club room / bar and a small basement gym. These premises where leased at that time from the Greenwich Hospital Estates.
The club is now based in the Trafalgar Rowing Centre [2] only a few doors down from their old home. Curlew moved to the Trafalgar Rowing Centre in late 2003, and with the Trafalgar Trust (Curlew Rowing Club and Globe Rowing Club) now own a new boathouse and gym in Greenwich.
The club on the water has seen much recent success qualifying and competing at Henley Royal Regatta every year since 2000.
