History
The club was formed as the Chester Victoria Rowing Club on 9 July 1838, following a meeting at the Castle of Chester.[3] Two years later, in 1840, the club added the appellation of Royal after gaining Royal Patronage, becoming Royal Chester Rowing Club.[4]
Royals compete at events around the country, and in 2017 sent two eights to Henley Royal Regatta.[5]
