Butler College Boat Club (BCBC) is the rowing club of Josephine Butler College at Durham University on the River Wear in England. [1]
Contents
BCBC is a registered Boat Club through British Rowing with the boat code BTL [2] and is a member organisation of Durham College Rowing. [3]
In Durham, the club is a regular participant at Durham Regatta, [4] races across the north east, the Head of the River Race [5] and Durham College Rowing events.
In 2023, BCBC set the course record at the Derwent Water Head over the 3km course, the first major headrace on this stretch since 1870. [6] [7] While they still hold the course record for the west course of the lake, the overall record was first broken by fellow Durham college Hild Bede in 2025 and now belongs to Black Sheep. [8]
BCBC was founded in 2006 and is based at Dunelm House on the River Wear between Kingsgate Bridge and Elvet Bridge, alongside Grey College Boat Club. [9]
