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

We are now a subscription online magazine. Voice volume 2 issue 1 has just been published and can be downloaded if you have an active subscription. 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 - just look in the archive and you can download them directly without needing to subscribe.

Subscriptions

Registration is the first step, and once registered, you can buy a single issue, or a 12-month account. 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 year, including Olympic supplement issues, or £3 per single issue. In future you will also be able to buy past issues, though at the moment there is no need as they are 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.

NEW FOR 2008 - Landscape format

Volume 2 issue 2 of the RowingVoice is still landscape, and takes in a range of subjects from the Boat Race (our own unique spin) to the recent Tideway Heads and what the Kiwis have been doing knocking seven bells out of each other in the southern hemisphere. Great photography from Rob Bristow and Melanie Rovens, and news, letters and views from around the UK. Download the Voice now and then write to us at voice@rowingservice.com to tell us what you think.

The RowingVoice was founded in 2007 by rowing journalists Christopher Dodd and Rachel Quarrell, after the success of the Eton Mess, their Worlds 2006 news-sheet. We aim to bring you the best in rowing coverage, centred on the UK but with an eye on global rowing news, and an independent editorial voice. It is an online magazine, but designed so that it can easily be printed out for offline reading. Our issue dates are approximately every 6-8 weeks during the British winter, and more frequently in the summer. In 2008 we will be providing coverage from each of the Rowing World Cups as well as UK domestic news and features. During the Beijing Olympics we will bring out a supplement every two days to keep you up to date with all the detailed Olympic rowing news.

Christopher Dodd has a long career in journalism (including at the Guardian and as editor of Regatta Magazine) and is currently rowing correspondent for the Independent, rowing curator at the River and Rowing Museum, and a regular contributor to many rowing publications. He is also author of several books including the recent Water Boiling Aft, a history of the first 150 years of London Rowing Club.

Rachel Quarrell has written for Regatta Magazine, the Independent, Rowing News, and is now rowing correspondent for the Telegraph. She founded the Rowing Service website (one of the first rowing sites on the web) in 1994 and is a chemistry lecturer in her spare time.
