Welcome to the newly revamped SUBC website. This is just one of a few aspects of the club that have undergone a facelift over the past few months, as this year we are proud to announce that we will be working with our new sponsors at PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Following on from several notable successes last season, it is hoped that this year will be a successful one on the water as well. Wins at many Scottish head races for both were capped by a win for the Men’s 2nd 4 at the Scottish Universities Championships, while the Men’s 8 posted the club’s best finish in 10 years at the Head of the River Race in London, one of the biggest and most venerable rowing races in the world. Meanwhile, the Women’s squad had its largest intake of new rowers in several years and also won medals at the Scottish Championships, along with a few podium finishes for good measure. This season should see the club active across Scotland and the UK once again, with a few trips south of the border already in the pipeline.
Of course, there’s only so much training and hard work we can do. The club is also very active socially, and arranges events all year, from the now legendary SUBC subcrawl to more relaxed post-training meals out. The club caters for all comers, whether you are an aspiring Olympian or are just looking to improve your fitness and try your hand at perhaps the most traditional and team-oriented of university sports.
