Queen Mary University of London Boat Club (QMULBC) is proud to be a mixed club at the center of the London rowing scene, boating from London Regatta Centre. QMULBC welcomes everybody of all abilities, with the large majority of our new members each year having never rowed before university.
Whether it's the thrill of racing at BUCS, the prestige of going to Henley Royal Regatta, rowing recreationally, or being involved in a thriving social environment, QMULBC is perfect for individuals of all skills and fitness levels to fulfill the ultimate university experience.
Whilst rowing is a competitive sport for those that want to train hard, we also know that university is a time for getting out and meeting new people. Every year QMULBC welcomes a great number of members who enjoy the social side of university sport. We host a range of different socials every year, which are fondly remebered by our current and alumni members alike.

Equipment:
Whilst the club provides all the essential rowing equipment, you will need to bring a contactless card for train travel, water, food, sliders/flipflops/wellies, a sports kit (clothes you would workout in), and a spare change of clothes as there's a chance you may get a little wet!
We have six rowing boats some pictured below left to right: PofE (8+), Millenium Mary (8+), John G (4+). Not pictured are Kor Blimey (4+), SS Johnson (1x) and Tideway Queen (1x)


Training:
Training sessions on the water generally last 2hrs anytime Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, extending to any day of the week when crews are free in the build-up to races. Participation is important for those wishing to row with us competitively, with land training also expected for competitive crews taking place at our on-campus gym, QMotion.
Alongside the captains, our experienced coaches and senior rowers are always on hand to offer fitness advice and rowing tips to anyone in need, don't be afraid to ask!

We compete in a variety of races from regattas to head races to sprints! Including: Docklands Head, UH Head, UH Fresher Sprints, Head of the River, Women's Head of the River, Cambridge Head, BUCS Regatta, Poplar Regatta, Drapers Cup and many more!
