Welcome to St John's College Boat Club
Welcome to St John's College Boat Club, Oxford
We are a fun and committed college boat club located in central Oxford.
Training takes place in Godstow and on the Isis. We compete in both annual Oxford Bumps races as well as external regattas such as Wallingford Head and WEHORR. Rowers of all skill are welcome, from intensive daily training for first boats to 'beer boats', crews that just turn up and race. Contact us to get involved!

Head of the River 2025
After a week's training camp on the Isis, the men's side are up another 47 places this year! That's 101 places in the last two years. The women's side were unfortunately less lucky; their crew was scratched due to event oversubscription.

Torpids 2025
Only the top three division were run this year, in halves, due to high stream. This unfortunately meant that only the first boats could race. The women bumped up on the final day, while the men were bumped on their first. See bumps.live for a good illustration.

2024 Michaelmas
Tamesis (Michaelmas Novice) Regatta
Unfortunately, Tamesis Regatta (MNR) was cancelled this year due to uncooperative weather. While there was not enough notice for anyone to host an inter-college substitute event, the novices had a great time taking part in an internal Ergatta. Everyone put a great shift in, but congratulations to the winners, Jamie's team (Anna, Anya, Gabriel, & Alex)!
