YouTube video by Wadham College Boat Club WCBC Year Video 2025

The WCBC annual video is now out! And that's the end of my stint as webmaster. It's been fun! Enjoy the video! youtu.be/wByeYdH4Ds8?...

WCBC will be bartending again this year at @remenhamclub.bsky.social during #HRR25 - we're super excited to be back! See you there!

On top of Reading, Oriel Regatta will also be this Saturday! For anyone who doesn't know, it's a bit of fun - silly costumes, drinking and plenty of sunshine. If the weather clears up, that is.

Half of W1 will be competing in Reading Regatta on Saturday at 16:00 in the Women's 4+ category! Come and cheer them on if you're about!

Well done to all HMC students who competed in Summer VIIIs with @wadhamcollegebc.bsky.social, which concluded on Saturday. And particular congratulations to crew 03, who secured a new set of 'blades' for HMC – only the College's second! Pictured all HMC students who took part. 📷Akshay Amesur.

Roundups and further info will be delayed until tomorrow morning as I intend to be ragingly drunk in about 45 minutes time. See you then! Well done everyone!

W1 were bumped by Pembroke right outside boathouse island, finishing 2nd on the river.

O1 rowed over both races, finishing first in Div 2

Tomorrow will be busy! Spectators must NOT ride or run alongside crews. It's not safe. We will get fined, and that fine will be passed along to you.

O3: +1
W2: +0
O2: +1
W1: +0
O1: +0

Remember ALL RACING TIMES ARE 1hr EARLIER TOMORROW. I will post a reminder!

And O1 have rowed over on their second race too

W1 rowed over at the top of their division with a cheeky rate drop to 26

O1 rowed over on their first race of the day!

HUGE bump on Keble right outside boathouse island by O2!

W2 rowed over, ending their blades campaign but putting on a great show for all of boathouse island!

W3 rowed over as sandwich boat after Oriel stacked it into the bank and Anne's caught them. They very nearly got the overbump but were a canvas off at the end

O3 bumped!!! Great job guys!

W3 bumped Pembroke!!

As a reminder: today O1 are racing at 17:45! Then (hopefully) again at 18:45 as the sandwich boat, bumping action pending. I would say I'll keep you updated, but I row in W1 so I may not be able to...

So today's roundup:

W3: +1
O3: +1
W2: +1
O2: +0
W1: +1
O1: -1

Another amazing shift today everyone! Halfway there 💪💥

O1 have unfortunately been bumped out of division 1. They held Merton off until boathouse island but didn't quite make the run. Tomorrow they'll be sandwich boat with another chance to bump back up!

W1 bumped Univ going through the gut, securing them headship for now!

Brasenose was gaining on O2 off the start, but they managed to row away and had a really great lead by the end!

W2's competition (Magdalen) didn't show up on time, so they automatically get the bump as far as we know? They rowed the whole course anyway, despite a crab and someone's feet coming out!

Wadham look speedy
