Star Club (rowing)
Star Club, also known as Bedford Star, is a rowing club on the River Great Ouse in Bedford, England. It is based at Poynter's Boathouse, Batt's Ford, Commercial Road. The club was founded in 1960 by former members of RAF Cardington Rowing Club. The original boathouse was about 100 metres upstream from the current site. Star Club often rows as a composite crew with other clubs.
The team quickly found success, winning the senior eights at the 1961 Peterborough City Rowing Club regatta. They won the Jackson Trophy in 1962 at the Head of the River Race, and have won it a total of six times. In 1972, Star Club merged with the Bedford Ladies Rowing Club. A major achievement came in 1991 when they won the Grand Challenge Cup at the Henley Regatta with the Leander Club. The blade colours are white with a red star.
