In 2016, a new boathouse was built at the cost of £1 million. The construction was assisted by a bequest from former member John Dalkin and was opened by the Jane Percy, Duchess of Northumberland.[3]

Also in 2016, former club rower Will Fletcher represented Great Britain in the men's lightweight double sculls event at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.[4]
