About the FRA
The Flatwater Racing Association was formed in 2013 to coordinate two annual canoe race series run by clubs in the Herts/Essex/Cambs area, and now expanded to include a race in Bedfordshire.
The Winter Series of canoe marathons was formalised in 1981 and has been running continuously ever since. Over the years the venues have changed as some clubs have dropped out and others have taken their place. Currently, Winter Series races are hosted and organised by Bishops Stortford CC, COPS, Cambridge CC, Chelmsford CC, and Leighton Buzzard CC. Until recently, Barking & Dagenham CC also staged a Winter Series race for many years, and it is hoped to reinstate this in the future. Please see the Winter Series page.
Several of the same clubs have also organised local sprint regattas for many years, and in 2007 it was decided to coordinate these into a Summer Series. Currently, regattas in this series are hosted by Chelmsford CC, COPS, and Bishops Stortford CC. Please see the Summer Series page.
The Association has a committee comprising a representative from each of the seven member clubs, and there are three elected Officers. The FRA operates according to a Constitution agreed by the participating clubs. For Data Protection information, please see the Privacy page.
The 2021 AGM is provisionally scheduled for 16 June 2021.
