The club was founded in 1870 with the club's first headquarters being at the Hope Public House. The first boathouse was built in 1908 costing £400 and in 1947 the club won the West of England championship. A new clubhouse was built in the late 1970s and a new boat store was built in 1985.[2]
In recent years the club has produced national champions.
