Welcome to the website of Balliol College Boat Club (BCBC). Whether you’re a current member, prospective student or alumni you should find everything you need related to BCBC right here.

Balliol College is not one of the traditional ‘rowing colleges’ and certainly never one of the critics favourites; despite this recent years have seen resurgent success for the club with the Men’s 1st VIII taking the Summer VIIIs headship in 2008, the first time in 52 years.

Unlike many of the top rowing colleges, BCBC prides itself on not being privately sponsored and it is through the generous donations of alumni members that Headship success was made possible.

We would like to encourage you to sign up, where you can choose to receive the newsletters, and receive the invitation to all the events we will be holding. We are also forming an archive of crew lists, which you are highly encouraged to contribute towards, by remembering those who you rowed with.
