Pengwern Boat Club, founded in 1871, is located in Shrewsbury Town Centre, Shropshire, in a picturesque river-side setting. The current clubhouse was built in 1881 and is undoubtedly one the most attractive in the UK.

With a membership of 180, men's and women's crews have represented the club at many local and national races, including Henley Royal Regatta, Women's Henley, and the Head of the River Race.

Vice Captain Matt Akers has coxed the GB U23 Men's Eight. Secretary Kait Yates has won the Boat Race with Osiris (Oxford) in 2002, and in the same year won Bronze in the Welsh Womens' Eight at the Commonwealth Regatta.
