Novice Rowing

Welcome 

Anyone is welcome to join CCCBC and our novice rowing programme. In Michaelmas Term we run a big novice campaign, although there are opportunities throughout the year to join in, so do not hesitate to contact our captains if you are interested.

How to Join

We will be at the Corpus Freshers' Fair but do email us in advance if you are considering joining - the more information we have and the earlier the better! 

We have taster days and welcome tours in the first week of Michaelmas where you can try rowing out. 

From Second Week onwards we run a novice programme where you can go from complete beginner to racing at Michaelmas Novice Regatta by the end of the term. 

You do need to pass a swim test to be able to race and come on consistent rowing outings. The captains will book these tests for you so do get in touch with them for times, locations, and information. 

Events outside of Rowing

Even though our primary focus is rowing we do have lots of social events that members of the club are welcome to come along to. We often have crew breakfasts in Hall after morning outings and have pasta nights the day before any major competition. We also have club dinners and crewdates so all are welcome to get involved.
