Bath University Boat Club (BUBC) is the rowing club for the University of Bath, England. The club is based in Bath, England, on the River Avon.[1]
Bath University Boat Club was founded in 1967, a year after the University of Bath was established, and is the University's oldest sports club. The club initially rowed from Avon County Rowing Club, in Saltford, before moving to Bradford-on-Avon.
In 1988, BUBC joined Minerva Bath Rowing Club, at their boathouse in Bathampton, and together the two clubs purchased a boat, called The Jolly Rodger.
BUBC moved back to Avon County from 1997 until 2002, when the Boat Club reunited with Minerva Bath. The two clubs then moved together to the current site in 2005, where they have since built two boathouses.
The club has recorded wins at the Henley Women's Regatta and has produced several national championship crews.
