Join Exe-Calibre

Exe-Calibre was formed in 2005 when a number of teams based at the Commando Training Centre in Lympstone merged to form a club open to civilians. Now there are only a handful of members from HM Forces, but we have a wide range of members from in and around Exeter.

Since the merger the club has developed and become more successful, winning the 2010 Standard League to join the top tier of UK Dragon Boat Racing. In 2011 Exe-Calibre finished near the top of the Premier League and took first place in the Henley Winter Series.

Training sessions are structured and intensive yet accessible to all. Even the most unfit novice should pick up the basics within a few weeks and see immediate changes in their health and well being. The diverse nature of the membership means that new members’ social lives improve dramatically too!
