 Morning on StourThis is the beautiful river we row on and why it is always worthwhile getting up at 5.30am - you never quite know what you might experience, |  Coaching PrinciplesBUBC's coaching staff are all volunteers with experience of rowing at London RC, Canford School, King's School Chester, University of London, Durham University, Cambridge, Kingston RC, St Cuthbert's Society and Tideway Scullers School. We teach British Rowing technique and are keen on small boats and sculls. But we are always looking for more eyes on the bank. Contact Jonathon Carr-Brown, head coach, at Jonathon@lost4words.com if you think you can help. |  If It's So Hard,Why Do We Bother?Watch film maker and former BUBC oarsman, Andy Lindfield's take on why we row... |
 The Roman ShieldBUBC is a club with a great spirit. We train hard, fight to win our victories but when we are of the water we're the best social club in town. We've been Bournemouth University's Club of the year two years running (2014 and 2015) and in 2014 we were the National Union of Students' Club of the Year. |  Winning for EnglandRower Jess Belcher, was the first BUBC rower to represent England. She competed in the Home International Regatta coming away with Gold in the double sculls and a silver in the senior quad sculls. |  Henley or BustEvery year we put two men's eights into Henley Royal Regatta's Temple Challenge Cup and the club has qualified in 2005 and 2007. Can you help us get back to winning ways? |
 Tideway Head of the RiverOur ambition is to secure a top 100 place for the men's first eight by 2021 at the Tideway Head of the River Race which is run in the opposite direction to the Oxford Cambridge Boat Race. We are currently leapfrogging the competition but we need one big push this year. Can you help? |  Training CampsEvery year we spend a week rowing four times a day! If you are a rower this counts as fun and whenever possible - funds permitting - we transport the club somewhere warm. Spain and France are popular destinations as are Chester and Nottingham! |
