~ FUNDRAISER ~
On the 18th of March, we’ll be taking on 24 hours non-stop on the water to raise money for a new men’s 4+.
After last year’s 24-hour ergathon, we decided that staying dry was a bit too easy - so this year we’re stepping it up and taking it onto the river.
For 24 hours straight, crews will be rowing through the day and night - all to help us reach our goal and invest in equipment that will make a huge difference to the squad.

Read our story on the JustGiving page. https://www.justgiving.com/page/gcbcmens4?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL&utm_campaign=020

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a genuine difference.

Thank you so much for your support — we’ll definitely need it at 3am!

P.S. get thinking of boat names! There will be another fundraiser to determine this.

We had the incredibly moving experience of welcoming the new women's 4+ this term, named in memory of GCBC alumna Beth Pevsner (2015-2018). With a great turnout from current students, alumni, and friends, it was a fitting tribute to someone who gave so much to the club, as Women's Captain, coach and rower.

This boat was made possible thanks to the incredible support of our community, through a collective donation from the 'Friends of Beth', fundraising efforts such as the 24-hour ergathon, and contributions of all sizes.

Thank you to everyone who helped bring this boat to life. It stands as a lasting reminder of Beth’s spirit and love for rowing. We're proud to share that the new boat has already raced at both Durham and York Regattas, and it will continue to carry her name through many more races to come.
