Green
Twickenham Rowing Club has been working hard to ensure it operates to the highest environmental standards within such a sensitive part of the River Thames. Richmond upon Thames council has now acknowledged these efforts with the Go Green Award at Merit and Advanced level. This accolade is given to organisations that make, and achieve recognised positive improvements to their environmental performance.

Recycling bins are on site next to the path from the gate to the club. All rubbish should be sorted before it is thrown away. If we fill more than one rubbish bag each week (excluding recycling bins), we will have to pay a fee to the council, so being green also pays or at the very least costs less.
