Welcome to the website for the RowingVoice, the independent voice of rowing in Britain.

Up now: Issue 5 (Olympics) of the 2012 season. If your subscription has lapsed, log in and pay for a new one to receive the next 12 months' issues for a mere £20, including the multi-part Olympic edition.

Rowing Voice is the online magazine for all those interested in rowing. Some of the UK's top rowing writers and photographers cover the sport at every level, year-round, with a particular emphasis on the big events. A yearly subscription for just £20 a year buys you in-depth reporting from around the world, thought-provoking articles, stunning pictures, and discussions on everything from coaching to coxing, back pain to bowballs, juniors to masters, erging to recreational rowing, but with an emphasis on the interesting detail at every level.

Special issues are produced for the big events, such as Henley Royal Regatta and the world cups. Plus, at the world championship or Olympic regattas, the Rowing Voice publishes daily issues, with the latest news, pictures and gossip from the lake. See the 2008 Olympic issues (Vol 2 issue 8) and the current 2012 Olympic issues (Vol 6 issue 5) for an example.

Blogs and networking: The Rowing Voice is now on Facebook as well as Twitter. We blog regularly about the big news stories, with the first few on this website and from now on at a dedicated blogsite, rowingvoice.wordpress.com.

To subscribe, click on the registration button above, and you will be guided through the process. All the issues of Volume 1 (2007), including Worlds supplements, will remain free, and there is a trailer for the last issue of 2009 which everyone can access.

Subscriptions
Registration is the first step, and once registered, you can buy a single issue, or a 12-month account, or just read the free issues from 2007 without paying. Subscribing is easy, secure, and can be done in any standard currency via a credit card. The price for the RowingVoice is £20 for a whole calendar year, or £3 per single issue (£5 for the full Olympic set of 9 issues). You can also buy past issues from Volume 2 onwards, and all the Volume 1 issues are all free. Rates are automatically converted into other currencies if you are not buying in the UK.

Format
All the Voice issues are created in Adobe PDF format. Most computers can now automatically read this format, but if yours has trouble, you may wish to download Acrobat Reader. The average issue size is approximately 5-6 MB, though a few are larger.
