Hey! I’m Louisa, this year’s boat club president. I came to Univ in 2021 as a complete novice, but with UCBC I have raced both in Oxford and at various external regattas. A particular highlight was winning Torpids Headship! My favourite part of the boat club is the incredible community and team spirit; you will make some great friends and excellent memories! See you on the water :)

Hi! I'm Bertie (he/him), a fourth-year student studying Chemistry. I've ‘rowed’ since michaelmas of my first year, but am yet to grasp the finer subtleties of the sport.
My primary goals as Vice-President are to encourage more people within college to get involved in rowing (and to attempt to keep the changing rooms somewhat tidy). If you want to get involved, in either endeavour, feel free to drop me an email at ucbc.vp@univ.ox.ac.uk

ucbc.secretary@univ.ox.ac.uk

Hi I’m Charlie, a second year PPEist from Liverpool and your club secretary for the year! It’s my job to manage kit orders and make sure UCBC is not only the quickest boat club on the Isis but also the most stylish.
On the rare occasion that I am not in a boat or on an erg, you will likely find me on a cricket field somewhere. If you have any queries at all then don’t hesitate to contact me at ucbc.secretary@univ.ox.ac.uk

ucbc.treasurer@univ.ox.ac.uk

I am Nick (he/him) and I am the current Treasurer (time is money, bio will be short). I joined UCBC as a cox four years ago and I have enjoyed every moment on and off the water. Racing Summer Torpids 2021 was more than amazing. If you have any questions do not hesitate to drop an email.

Hi! I’m Isla, a 2nd year Biochemist from Somerset and the Boat Club’s co-treasurer. I started coxing with UCBC last year and am really enjoying it, even in the cold and wet! Getting to cox in Eights was a great experience and I can’t wait to get back on the water (and hopefully get some more bumps) this year! Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or concerns!

Hey I’m Isi, I got roped into coxing the men’s side later in my degree and haven’t looked back since! I love the club and can genuinely say rowing makes my time in Oxford so much fun. Bumps racing is the best feeling, and you can make real friends in the process - get involved!

ucbc.womenscaptain@univ.ox.ac.uk

Hi! I'm Lenka (she/her), a 4th year Earth Scientist. I've been rowing at Univ for 3 years and I'm very excited to be Women*s Captain this year! I'm looking forward to meeting lots of new faces in the club and to some more fun bumps racing!

ucbc.coxes@univ.ox.ac.uk

I’m Alex (he/him) and I’m a third year PPEist. I took up coxing in my first year and have enjoyed every second! This year I’ll be focussed on expanding our ever growing roster of coxes and convincing everyone that coxes gets the best title! If you have any questions about being the ‘master of the vessel’ or want to know how to get involved, feel free to get in touch!

ucbc.mensvc@univ.ox.ac.uk

Hello! I’m Arthur (he/him), and I am one of your Men’s Vice Captains for this year. I’m a second year Music student currently navigating life as an orchestral musician, jazz bassist and keen oarsman. My rowing journey began in my first year at Univ, learning to row as a fresher, and I hope to encourage others to discover the beauty of the sport as I have.

ucbc.mensvc@univ.ox.ac.uk

Hi! I'm Tom (he/him), a second year mathematician and one of the vice-captains this year. I had a blast learning to row last year. For me, the highlights were Summer Eights, BUCS, Henley qualifiers, ... actually, there are too many to mention! If you're interested in trying rowing at Univ be sure to get in touch!

ucbc.womensvc@univ.ox.ac.uk

Hi, I'm Amber (they/them), a second year medic and (more importantly) one of the Women*s VCs for this year. I'll be looking after the novices and lower boats, and making sure to share my love for the sport and continue making boats go fast! I started rowing in my first year, and spent last year in W2, which was so much fun and the highlight was definitely my first (of many) Summer Eights! When not waffling in the bow seat, I'm usually found "doing my degree" (organising rowing) in the library or fuelling with orange juice for free speed.

ucbc.womensvc@univ.ox.ac.uk

Hi! I’m Barbie (she/her) and one of Women*s Vice-Captains & Women*s Social Sec! I am currently doing my DPhil (at New College…) but I started my undergrad at Univ in 2020! UCBC has definitely been a highlight of my time in Oxford and I am keen to encourage more people to try rowing, both for the sport and the friends and community it creates.

Hi! I’m Jocasta, and I have recently been ousted from UCBC because my brain is just too wet and wrinkly (I graduated). I have now achieved the venerable title of Martlet rower. Fun fact of the day: I do indeed know what a boat is. This, coupled with my shiny new Graduate Office Job, makes me perfectly qualified to be your next Boat Officer (I think? I haven’t been given a handover document so idk the exact job description). Regardless, I give you my solemn word: life jackets will be tested, throw lines users be trained, and boats will be officed.

Hi, I’m Adam (he/him). I’m a third-year (not) reading Physics and started rowing as a fresher. I’m currently taking what I like to call a “rowing year” over at Vesta RC. My qualifications for this role include being able to change the source on a TV and that I once made a powerpoint.

I have been coaching at Univ for the past 5 years coaching the M1 and W1 crews. I also have been overseeing the club coaching programme, to help develop all of our athletes. Before coming to Univ I was the Head of Rowing at Lady Eleanor Holles School in Hampton. I have been coaching for 30 years and have coached at all levels, from beginners to Internationals; and all ages from 12 all the way up to masters in their 80s. I have extensive experience coaching University athletes, having coached at both Newcastle and Cardiff Universities.

Argyris Stasinakis joined Univ as W2 coach in 2013. He claims that he enjoys the early mornings (esp Sundays 6am) and that he cannot discern when his crew trains on a hangover. He talks a lot, sometimes. Argy started his rowing career at Keble M2 (1991) and later with Wolfson. He loves College rowing and the thrill of Univ W2 beating the odds. He rowed for City of Oxford and has been rowing with Oxford Academicals since 2016. When not on the river or the towpath, Argy is a keen entrepreneur. He is strategy officer and partner at MarineTraffic, a maritime intelligence business. He also sits on the board of start up companies and thoroughly enjoys mentoring young professionals.

Yarm Alumni. Brookes hopeful.

I am the college chaplain and one of the two 'senior members' of UCBC. My role is to support the club and its members, to provide some institutional memory that remains as each cohort of students departs, and to liaise between the club and other parts of the College, including its Governing Body and those entrusted with its day-to-day operational management. You'll see me on the bank rather than on the water, and UCBC members (and other students) are always welcome to email me, to knock my door, or to catch me around the College.

I was asked by the Master at my interview what I would do other than teach. "I'll coach the 1st Eight", I replied, only to see the collective Fellowship jaw drop - but they still elected me! I did coach several times in the 1970s and 80s, but only after proving myself with the 2nd Torpid, despite having previously coached a St John's Torpid to the Headship... I became the Senior Member of UCBC in 1992 and rebuilt the fleet after the fire in 1999. I act as the point of contact with Old Members and manage the 1990 Fund.
