BEGINNER SQUAD

Each year we welcome a new intake of students with no prior rowing experience to try rowing. Training sessions take place between the Queen's Sport Boathouse (29 Lockview Road) and the Queen's PEC. Beginners will learn the basics of rowing or coxing, and will then have the opportunity to compete against other UK and Irish Universities during racing season. 

Beginners will start with 2 weeks of taster sessions after which a 6 week Learn-to-Row course takes place.

FRESHERS FAIR 

We will be at the fresher's fair on both Tuesday 22nd and Wednesday 23rd September- come say hi! Find us either day outside the Lanyon Building to take part in our 100m Challenge; alternatively, come along to tables 45 and 46 in the Mandela Hall on Wednesday for a chat.

Come along to our beginner squad meeting at 6:30pm on Thursday 24th September in the Peter Frogatt Centre PFC/0G/024.

We will also have many social opportunities coming up, firstly a casual club social in the SU following the meeting in PFC. Novice Night will take place on the 3rd October- keep updated on our ig @qubrowing

SENIOR SQUAD

We have a senior squad meeting at 5:30pm on the 24th September in the Peter Frogatt Centre PFC/0G/024 

We are keen to recruit students with any previous rowing or coxing experience to join current QUBLBC rowers on the intermediate/senior squad. Training Schedule:

Water sessions take place at the Queen's Sport Boathouse and erg/weights sessions take place at the Queen's PEC.

During the year, we travel for many competitions such as BUCS Head (Newcastle), BUCS Regatta (Nottingham), Henley Women's Regatta, Irish Uni Champs, London Met Regatta, and Irish Championships, as well as a 1 week Training Camp in Banyoles, Spain during Easter Holidays. Last season, QUBLBC entered their first ever crews into Henley Royal Regatta; while these did not qualify for racing, we are keen to persevere with this prestigious event- perhaps you are the member we need!

Our Winter Dinner will take place on 21st November in the Whitla Hall, all members and Alumni welcome.

Whether you would like to row competitively or recreationally, we would strongly encourage anyone- experienced or otherwise- to come down and row with us.

We have a variety of scholarship options available through Queen's Performance sport website - rowing-academy,
