History

Originally the boat club was restricted to an allocated space within the St John's College boathouse. In 1985 new boathouse plans were submitted with the help of a major donation from Peter de Savary. The boathouse was subsequently built in 1989/90, on a plot next to many other University boathouses on Boathouse Island. Current president is Tom Lavis. [3] The boathouse building is in three sections and shared with Wadham College Boat Club and St Hugh's Boat Club with St Annes's in the centre section.[ citation needed ]
