Title
Vancouver Rowing Club Rugby
Description
In the autumn of 1908, VRC rowers seeking to keep fit during their off-season formed a rugby team. Since that fateful year, "The Rowers" have become synonymous with rugby in Vancouver. Now, just a few years from our centennial season, VRC rugby is entering an exciting stage of redevelopment as it prepares once again to ascend familiar heights.
Our homefield; Brockton Oval, is located in the evergreen oasis of Stanley Park, close to the heart of Vancouver's downtown core. Reputed to be one of the top ten pitches in the world because of its scenery and location, it boasts a spectacular view of the inner harbour and the north-shore mountains. Over the last one hundred years, Brockton has played host to numerous national and provincial squads in its dual role as an international venue. Canada, the All-Blacks, British Lions, Wallabies, Wales, Scotland and England have all played on our hallowed ground in years gone by.
Our Clubhouse, also located in Stanley Park, is a shared facility between the various sections of the Vancouver Rowing Club organization. Besides housing the magnificent Carver Bar where we meet every Thursday and Saturday evening, the VRC building has a number of top class facilities that are open to all club members. We have access to a fully equipped weight room, another licensed bar upstairs in the scenic Trophy Lounge, a Banquet Hall capable of holding 250 people and an enormous ocean-front deck for year round barbecues.
