Untitled - Somerville College

Rowing is fun, a great way tostay in shape and, at times,extremely exhilarating. SomervilleBoat Club is a friendly clubthat enables all college members(men or women) to row atany level and is a good way tomeet other people in the college.As well as being fun, rowing can act as a great way to relax and getaway from work. While you're here at Oxford you'll spend a good proportionof your time working, be it in the library, in the lab or by yourselfin your room. Rowing is a great way to get away from all that. Towardsthe end of your first term there will be a really fun set of racesfor freshers called Christ Church regatta. We've done well in the pastand there's absolutely no reason why we can't beat all of the othercolleges and win it this coming November. Later in the year comes Torpidsand Eights. Both events take place over the course of 4 days andare about as exciting as sport can get, definitely worth experiencing. Aswell as messing about on the river, there will also be crew dates andboat club dinners which are a lot of fun. `If you have any questions,please email thomas.loveluck@some.ox.ac.uk (men’s captain) orlaura.jennings@some.ox.ac.uk (women’s captain).Somerville Badminton’s player base has been rapidly growing with verysuccessful results both in cuppers and in the league.
