A number of people who were unable to attend the meeting on 14th January have expressed an interest in the redevelopment plans for the boathouse. In the new plans the entire boathouse behind the clubroom will be demolished and rebuilt, retaining the clubroom and two short boat bays facing the river. Behind the clubroom there will be five new boat bays parallel to the river, extending the footprint of the building to the side of the current building line.

You can view the elevations, floor plans and sections in pdf format by following these links.
