Boathouse

      Important News

Oxford's East Area Parliament granted planning permission for the replacement of Falcon Rowing & Canoeing Club Boathouse on June 16th 2010.

The boathouse working party welcomes this progressive step.  During the debate at the planning meeting a useful working partnership was forged with the local residents association, we all came away happy with the outcome.  FCC would also like to thank our architect and professional advisors who fielded some tough questioning during the meeting.

We would also like to thank the Chair of the meeting for bringing our application to the front of the meeting and we thank the Falcon members who turned out in great numbers adding weight to our credentials as a community club.  The granting of permission was met by their wild applause.

The club will now submit a business plan including sports development plans to the national governing bodies and at the same time the working party restarts the search for cash.  A club moot will be called shortly to define what members can do to help ; so hold fire until we can be sure we have all our ducks in a line re: who we ask.

Well done and thank you to all

Peter Travis
