History

Rowing in Bangor dates back to 1901 when the club was first started.[citation needed]

The club was formerly situated at a boathouse on the Menai Strait, taking advantage of a stretch of open water between the Menai Suspension Bridge and Garth Pier. Since then this location has been deemed a health and safety risk and the club was relocated to Llyn Padarn, Llanberis.[4]
