Oxford University Rowing Clubs

Oxford University Rowing Clubs (OURCs) is a federation of the Oxford University Boat Club (OUBC) and all Oxford college boat clubs. OURCs is a purely administrative organisation with no training or crews. It was created in 1986 in order to remove the organisational burden from the university squad[1] and is responsible for organising inter-collegiate competitions and overseeing the conduct of college rowing.[2] The student-led organisation of OURCs is supported by senior members of the university, the Council for Oxford University Rowing, which issues advice and deals with aspects of rowing safety. [3] A similar function is fulfilled by the Cambridge University Combined Boat Clubs for rowing clubs of the University of Cambridge.
