ECBC is a rowing club for the students and fellows of St. Edmund’s College, Cambridge.

Even though some of our members are very experienced rowers, having rowed for their schools, university clubs and other clubs, most rowers are “home-grown”; they started rowing when coming to study in the college, went through the novice programme and progressed to higher boats.

The club has both men’s and women’s crews, and opportunities for the experienced, as well as a novice training programme. Most novices start in the beginning of Michaelmas term, but it is possible to start rowing also later in the academic year.

The club is governed by the committee, chaired by the Overall Captain. The various crews are operated by their captains. The senior treasurer, Dr. Harry Smith, is in charge of the club finances.

Every year the boat club crews take part in various rowing races in Cambridge. The main aims during the year are the Fairbairns Race in Michaelmas term, the Lent Bumps and May Bumps in Lent and Easter terms, respectively. The boat club is part of Cambridge University Combined Boat Clubs (CUCBC) that governs student rowing in Cambridge.

SECBC uses the Trinity Hall boathouse for training and keeping the boats. The club has three boats, ‘Kylie’ an eight for the men’s 1^st crew, ‘Harry’, an eight for the women, and a so far unnamed coxed four.
