Who are we?

Hello, and welcome to our page. We are a group of rowers from the University of Reading who need your help to get us to the European University Rowing Championships!

Our Story

We are so passionate about our sport, and love the challenge of competing at a high level. Through some excellent performances at the British University Championships, we have qualified 17 students to represent the University of Reading at the European Championships this summer in Serbia! We are a driven and dedicated group, and we can’t wait for the opportunity to compete against Europe’s best student athletes.

In previous years Reading University Boat Club has excelled in this event, even being the highest performing British University!

Will you support us and make all the hard work worth it by giving us a helping hand on our journey?

How You Can Help

We are so excited to prove ourselves at the European Championships in Serbia this summer, but due to the nature of the competition we have to fund entry and travel costs ourselves.

We really hope that you will get behind us as we set our sights on Serbia!

Any amount you can give would be amazing, and will make such a big difference in helping us manage the costs of entry fees, travel, and accommodation.

Making it a Success

We need as many people as possible to help us on our way. The more people that hear about it, the better our chances of being able to compete at the European University Championships!

Please share with anyone you think would like to support us – on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, by email, telephone, in a chat over the fence, or on your blog!

While you’re here, we'd love it if you could sponsor us and help make this happen!
