Hey! My name is Amber and I'll be UCBC President for the 26-7 season. I'm a 4th year medic, and I've been rowing since my first year. Before then I didn't know anything about the sport, and couldn't even run to the end of the road. I never would have thought I'd be winning Headship with the first eight, or that I'd meet such an incredible community. I'm always happy to answer any questions, chat about my experience, or just yap about a sport I've come to love!

Hi! My name is Amber, a third-year historian, and this year’s secretary for UCBC. I started rowing as a novice with UCBC in 2024 and it has since become one of the highlights of my time at Oxford! This is my second year on committee, and I’m really excited to become even more involved in the wonderful community that makes UCBC such a supportive and special club. I’m looking forward to a great year ahead and hope to see you all out on the water!

I am Nick (he/him) and I am the current Treasurer (time is money, bio will be short). I joined UCBC as a cox seven years ago and I have enjoyed every moment on and off the water. Racing Summer Torpids 2021 was more than amazing. If you have any questions do not hesitate to drop an email.

Hi I'm Seb and I'm a third year AMH student and Men's Co-Captain this year. This will be my eleventh year rowing and third at UCBC. UCBC is a great place to learn to row as well as develop any rowing you may have done previously. Having been Vice-Captain last year I'm really excited to continue on committee and make the Men's Side even quicker! I hope to see you on the water!

Hello, I’m Ned. I am a second-year physicist at Univ. Before coming to Univ I had never rowed before, but at UCBC I found my love for the sport, especially with the special college community that comes with it. My highlights of last year include racing at fairbairns, BUCS and at Llandaff regatta. As a VC, I am excited to help more people have the same fun I did as a novice.

ucbc.mensvc@univ.ox.ac.uk

Hi! I’m James, one of the men’s vice captains and a second year PPE student. I started rowing at Univ in my first year as a novice and loved it immediately. It’s now one of my favourite things about university, and I hope to show as many novices as possible this year how much fun rowing can be.

ucbc.mensvc@univ.ox.ac.uk

Hi I'm Fin, a second year Chemist, and I am really excited to be one of your Men’s VCs this year. I will be helping organise novice outings and Tamesis Regatta at the end of term! If you have any questions feel free to email me and the other men's VCs.

Hi, I'm Robert, a third year historian and one of your social secs this year. I learned to cox at Univ and have great memories so far. We will be running many exciting events this year, so get excited for dinners, bar crawls, and many crewdates with other clubs!

I was a complete novice last year and have enjoyed every second of being apart of the UCBC community. As social sec, I want to provide opportunities for everyone to get to know each other better and make great memories off the water. See you at our events!

I’m Alex and I, like many others, learned to row here at univ. Now going into my 3rd year as a rower and sometimes a chemist, I wanted to help UCBC in anyway I could, so sometimes I update the website.

I have been coaching at Univ for the past 5 years coaching the M1 and W1 crews. I also have been overseeing the club coaching programme, to help develop all of our athletes. Before coming to Univ I was the Head of Rowing at Lady Eleanor Holles School in Hampton. I have been coaching for 30 years and have coached at all levels, from beginners to Internationals; and all ages from 12 all the way up to masters in their 80s. I have extensive experience coaching University athletes, having coached at both Newcastle and Cardiff Universities.

Argyris Stasinakis joined Univ as W2 coach in 2013. He claims that he enjoys the early mornings (esp Sundays 6am) and that he cannot discern when his crew trains on a hangover. He talks a lot, sometimes. Argy started his rowing career at Keble M2 (1991) and later with Wolfson. He loves College rowing and the thrill of Univ W2 beating the odds. He rowed for City of Oxford and has been rowing with Oxford Academicals since 2016. When not on the river or the towpath, Argy is a keen entrepreneur. He is strategy officer and partner at MarineTraffic, a maritime intelligence business. He also sits on the board of start up companies and thoroughly enjoys mentoring young professionals.

Yarm Alumni. Brookes hopeful.

I am the college chaplain and one of the two 'senior members' of UCBC. My role is to support the club and its members, to provide some institutional memory that remains as each cohort of students departs, and to liaise between the club and other parts of the College, including its Governing Body and those entrusted with its day-to-day operational management. You'll see me on the bank rather than on the water, and UCBC members (and other students) are always welcome to email me, to knock my door, or to catch me around the College.

I was asked by the Master at my interview what I would do other than teach. "I'll coach the 1st Eight", I replied, only to see the collective Fellowship jaw drop - but they still elected me! I did coach several times in the 1970s and 80s, but only after proving myself with the 2nd Torpid, despite having previously coached a St John's Torpid to the Headship... I became the Senior Member of UCBC in 1992 and rebuilt the fleet after the fire in 1999. I act as the point of contact with Old Members and manage the 1990 Fund.
