The 21st British Indoor Rowing Championship took place on Sunday 25th March 2012 at the University of Nottingham Sport Centre. The first time at this new venue and for the first time incorporating the European Open. With the National Junior IRC taking place just 2 days earlier in London the event was short of a few junior competitors, but we still had over 900 athletes from 24 different countries race on the day.

There were over 20 records broken including one World record, 9 British records, 1 Irish record and 10 Championship records (see below for details). The Millennium Cup was won this year by Roger Bangay with his World record beating time in the 75-79 Lwt category. And the Champion of Champions trophy went to the Men Open Lwt winner Michael Maher of Commercial RC with his winning time of 6:20.1. For full details please go to the BIRC section.
