1 / 1 SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY UBBC has begun sear

1 / 1
SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY

UBBC has begun searching for sponsors to support the development of the club for the 2024/2025 season. Our sponsors can expect unrivalled social media exposure from one of the biggest sports clubs at the University of Bristol and gain access to branding opportunities on the club’s racing shells and road fleet.

By partnering with UBBC, sponsors play an important role in diversifying rowing and widening participation at university level. The support will also provide an equal opportunity for all members of the performance squad to compete at national level.

To celebrate and recognised the achievements by both our men’s and women’s squad last season, our sponsorship brochures will feature either the men’s first VIII or women’s first VIII as the cover.

The sponsorship brochure is available at https://uobboatclub.co.uk/sponsor-us/

Alternatively, the Sponsorship and Fundraising Officer can be contacted using the following email: sponsorship.ubbc@outlook.com

HRR roundup: @henleyroyalregatta saw a very good

HRR roundup:
@henleyroyalregatta saw a very good end to a successful season at UBBC.

Huge congratulations to our Women’s Island 8+ for becoming the first Bristol crew to qualify and win a round at HRR before just losing out to strong international crew Virginia University.

Our men’s temple 8+ had a promising season and won a round at HRR against a competitive Dutch crew ‘Njord’ before losing to another crew from the Netherlands ‘Laga.’

Our @nonesuch_bc alumni 8 had a very good race against eventual finalists ‘De hoop.’
Amazing racing from all boats!

Special thanks to all our members and alumni that came to support us and have supported and helped fund us all year. This wouldn’t be possible without their efforts.

Thanks also to @aaronpjsims 📸 for capturing these moments!

Our Women had some great racing at @henleywomensre

Our Women had some great racing at @henleywomensregatta this weekend! UBBC sent two VIII’s to race in the Aspirational Academic event as well as a double in the Aspirational event.

Following a good performance in the time trial, the 1st VIII secured their place in the next round against Jacksonville University, USA. The VIII raced with composure to secure a 2 length win over their opposition. Following this, they had a tough race against eventual winners of the event, Oxford Brookes, which saw our 1st VIII knocked out by 3/4 of a length.

Our 2nd VIII had a good race in the time trial and unfortunately just missed out on qualification in a tight field. Our 2x- had a good run down the track, however, they also unfortunately missed out on qualifying.

Our focus now goes to Henley Royal Regatta qualifiers which take place on Friday.

Many thanks to @aaronpjsims for his amazing photography. Be sure to check his page out!

Good work today by our women’s squad at @henleyw
