The city of Cambridge is steeped in rowing history, and since the inception of St. Edmund's College Boat Club by Bernard Buckley (Michaelmas 1969), SECBC has provided the quintessential Cambridge rowing experience to thousands of students.

The club is run by a determined and hard working student committee, on an entirely voluntary basis. The club is supported by dedicated coaches and some excellent alumni relations which ensures that every member of the club receives the best possible experience of college rowing that can be provided. Being a mature college, the turnover of our members each year is high, and as such this puts an emphasis on our capability to train up new aspiring rowers year in, year out. Despite our best efforts, providing this level of coaching can be a strain on the club, both financially for the club, and on the workload of our committee.

We have decided to run this fundraiser to help raise funds to cover the costs of races and our coaching requirements. It is imperative to the club that we are able to provide equal opportunities to all our members, whether they wish to race in the top crews, row casually, or even just row for one term to have the experience. Please get behind us on our endeavor and if you can spare anything towards the club we would all be extremely grateful. Do spread the word, and if you would like to join in and erg with us - please do get in touch!

HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL OUR GENEROUS DONORS :)

We rowed an incredible 276.5km and EXCEEDED our fundraising goal!!
