THE 1828 CLUB

THE 1828 CLUB

Because being a part of CCCBC doesn’t end when you leave Corpus!

The 1828 Club is the name of the alumni association of Corpus Christi College Boat Club. Through the 1828 Club, it is hoped that alumni remain connected to the Club long after they have left the College.

The focal point of the year for the 1828 Club is the weekend of May Bumps, where we host a BBQ/drinks marquee on Ditton corner for College members to watch the racing. Alumni are also invited to the May Bumps Dinner on Saturday evening and, if they have the energy, the morning afterwards to have the chance to go on a rowing outing again! Details for this and any other events are circulated via the College Development Office to all alumni who have rowing registered as interest on the College database. In addition, there are other many ways for alumni to keep up to date with events at the Club.

In addition to this website, there is our Facebook Page and CCCBC1828 Instagram page. During Lent and May Bumps, you can follow the results on Cam Fm or the CUCBC website. We encourage our alumni to keep in touch with us, either directly or through the Development Office – we do really love hearing from you!

Alumni

As a small Club at a small College, CCCBC relies on the generosity of its alumni to compete with other University College Clubs, most of which receive far more financial support from their Colleges. The Boat Club uses funds from College and termly member subscriptions to cover running costs, including race entries, maintenance, transport, and boatman fees. This leaves little for new equipment such as boats, blades, and rowing machines.

what your support provides

Generous alumni support has allowed us to purchase a Hudson Super Predator 8+ for the Women’s 1st VIII in 2016, a Hudson Ultimate Super Predator 8+ for the Men’s 1st VIII in 2017, an M1 VIII Januasak Boat Refurb in 2024, a full set of W1 Skinny C2 Blades in 2025, and ten new Concept2 PM5 RowErgs. These investments have already had a significant impact and are producing strong results.

In Mays 2016, our Women’s 1st VIII used their new boat, Rackham the Red, to win ‘superblades’ by rising six places—the best net change ever for a Corpus Women’s crew. Again in Lents 2020, Rackham the Red carried the Women’s 1st VIII to blades. In Lents 2018, the Men’s 1st VIII bumped Jesus II and LMBC II to finish 5th in Division 2, their highest position since 1993. In May Bumps 2025, the W1 crew rose three places with their new blades, with more progress expected.

These victories were not just for the crews, but for all who have supported CCCBC in recent years.

Corpus has been rowing in Cambridge since 1828 and has enjoyed many successes both on and off the Cam throughout our history. As a Boat Club of one of the smaller Colleges, we are a tight-knit and friendly community who are always happy to welcome new squad members into our crews.
