Welcome to the official website of St Hugh's Boat Club!
SHBC is a boat club for members of St Hugh's College, Oxford, with a membership of approximately 65 people, all undertaking undergraduate or postgraduate courses at the University of Oxford. Almost all of our rowing is done in eights, with all members able to enter into two bumps racing competitions per year, alongside smaller side-by-side and time trial races whenever the opportunity arrives. Recognised as one of the most enthusiastic boat clubs in the collegiate rowing community, we row because we love it, and enjoyment is our only prerequisite for success.
SHBC Sponsored Bumps Summer Eights 2018
SHBC this year will be running their own sponsored bumps! Pledge an amount to a crew (or crews) of your choice, and watch them bump their way up the divisions. SHBC sponsored bumps this year will be going towards raising money for a single scull! The number of Hugh's students learning to scull is now higher than ever, and we want to encourage our rowers to get used to smaller boats as well as conquering the 8. Crew bios and photos will be released shortly.
Here's how it works: if you pledged £2 to W1, and they bump 3 days of Torpid's, you donate £6 to SHBC to help them on their quest towards buying a single scull for SHBC. If you pledge £1,000 to M2, and they don't bump at all, you don't pay anything at all (but we would really appreciate it if you wanted to anyway).
If a crew gets blades, in our eyes that's definitely worth an extra bump - so if you pledge £5 on M1 and they get blades (bumping 4 crews) you donate £25 to SHBC! If a crew gets spoons to help them feel a bit better donate half of your original pledge - for example if you pledge £1 on M3, you would donate 50p to SHBC.
