We are always delighted to receive donations from our club alumni, which in the 2018/19 year, was enough to purchase a new Hudson racing double/pair, which has already won a medal at BUCS Regatta, competed on the Saturday of Henley Royal Regatta, and been to GB Trials.
If you would like to make a donation, please do so through the University of Bath alumni page, and when asked where to direct your donation, specify other, and insert "Bath University Boat Club".
