Ergathon a great success!

SECBC is run by a determined and hard working student committee, on an entirely voluntary basis. The club is supported by dedicated coaches and some excellent alumni relations which ensures that every member of the club receives the best possible experience of college rowing that can be provided. Being a mature college, the turnover of our members each year is high, and as such this puts an emphasis on our capability to train up new aspiring rowers year in, year out. Despite our best efforts, providing this level of coaching can be a strain on the club, both financially for the club, and on the workload of our committee.

We decided to run a 24 hour ERGathon fundraiser to help raise funds to cover the costs of races and our coaching requirements. It is imperative to the club that we are able to provide equal opportunities to all our members, whether they wish to race in the top crews, row casually, or even just row for one term to have the experience. 

The event was a great success and we must extend our thanks to all our members who got involved, and to every single one of our extremely generous donors. We covered a whopping 276.5km and raised a fantastic £1,251 (and counting - click here to donate!)
