Annual General Meeting Minutes: 2 Feb 2025
Bringing a taste of Venice to the Oxford Thames.
It’s how we row
The aim of City Barge is to promote the amateur sport of rowing, particularly VENETIAN boats and their unique rowing style, the voga alla veneta, made iconic by the Venetian gondoliers. Venetian rowing is social rowing, and City Barge organizes outings, excursions and a variety of rowing events for rowers, and even non-rowing associates.
And where we row
City Barge rows in and around Oxford, around the UK, in Venice, and beyond. We enjoy many social events connected with rowing for pleasure, and our different groups of rowers and supporters enjoy not only rowing, but spreading the interest in these extraordinary boats.
Fancy a taste?
Membership is open to men, women, and rowing enthusiasts of all types. Contact us to arrange to meet at the Longbridges Boathouse in Oxford. Here you can see our facilities, meet some of our existing members, and give rowing a try yourself.
What’s been happening at City Barge?

We are deeply saddened to announce the death of Richard Bailey.
Voga Training in Venezia
As with every training tour to Venice, Day Zero began with a rinfresco party!
This time it was on the Fondamenta della Sensa in Cannaregio, kindly hosted by Jeremy and Bev – a great start to a fabulous week.
