Worcester College Boat Club (WCBC) welcomes members from all backgrounds and with all levels of experience to learn how to row or cox.

In the year 2022/23, we were the most successful club across all Oxford colleges, winning three sets of blades and gaining 29 places in Torpids and Eights, with not a single place lost overall. We competed in external regattas, such as Cambridge Winter Head and Bedford Regatta, and hosted three fabulous Boat Club Dinners as well as countless social events.
