How to join X-Press
We welcome rowers and coxes of any level of experience. Some of our current members had rowed and coxed before, either at school, university or at previous clubs; others were completely new to the sport – some of our current first boat crew learned to row here at X-Press.
The best way of finding out about the club is to come for a try out on the water, or meet us for a chat before or after an outing. We can discuss what aspirations and availability you have, and recommend a crew for you.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
