Trevelyan College Boat Club

Trevelyan College Boat Club (TCBC) is the boat club of Trevelyan College, at Durham University in England. An active north eastern rowing club, it competes on a national level, for example at Henley Royal Regatta and the Head of the River Race. The club runs under the leadership of a structured executive committee and benefits from an annual intake of around thirty novice rowers each year. The club was founded officially in 1976, although there was a history of rowing at the college earlier, with the first boat bought in 1966. It is recorded that an all fresher crew won the Ladies Invitation Race at the university Epiphany Term regatta in 1967. TCBC is a registered Boat Club through British Rowing, with Boat Code "TRV" and is a member organisation of Durham College Rowing. The alumni club for ex-TCBC members is the Drowning Horse Boat Club, a humorous play on Trevelyan College's Coat of Arms.
