Hey! I’m Louisa, this year’s boat club president. I came to Univ in 2021 as a complete novice, but with UCBC I have raced both in Oxford and at various external regattas. A particular highlight was winning Torpids Headship! My favourite part of the boat club is the incredible community and team spirit; you will make some great friends and excellent memories! See you on the water :)

Hi! I'm Tom, a third year mathematician. I'm super excited to be this year's vice-president and hope to help grow rowing within Univ even more. This is my third year rowing and my second on committee. One of my goals as vice-president is to encourage more people within College to get involved in rowing. If this is something you might be interested in, feel free to drop me an email at ucbc.vp@univ.ox.ac.uk.

I am Nick (he/him) and I am the current Treasurer (time is money, bio will be short). I joined UCBC as a cox four 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 Will, a 2nd year English Student from Manchester and the Boat Club’s co-treasurer. I started rowing with UCBC last year as a novice and have loved the community of the club. This year I will be working alongside Nick on the financial side of operations - if you have any questions, do get in touch!

Hey, I’m Amber, a third year medic and UCBC’s Women*s Captain. I started rowing at Univ in my first year and haven’t stopped talking about it since. Having been Vice-Captain last year, I’m really excited to step up to the Captaincy and continue to develop our already-fantastic women*s squad!

Hi! I’m Isla (she/her) and I’m a third year Biochemist from Somerset. I’ve been coxing with UCBC since first year and am very excited to become Univ’s Captain of Coxes. We have a great community of coxes here at Univ and I cannot wait to expand the fleet even further! Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or want to get involved!

Hello! I’m Fred and I’m going into the second year of a PPE degree at Univ. I had never touched an oar before coming to university, but learning to row (ish) with UCBC has been a wonderful experience. In particular, going to BUCS regatta and taking part in Torpids & Summer Eights have been some of the highlights of my entire first year. As VC, I hope to make sure that lots more people have the same fun I had learning to row at Univ!

Hi! I’m Ellice, a 2nd year studying Biomedical Sciences. I rowed a little at school before coming to Univ, but it was with UCBC that I found my love for the sport and the community that comes with it. Highlights from this year include racing at Fairbairns, Torpids and Summer Eights! As VC, I’m exciting to keep growing the women*s side of the club — both in numbers and success!

Hi! I’m Amy, a second-year Chemistry student from St Albans and this year’s Women*s Social Secretary. I started rowing with UCBC last year with no prior experience, and I’ve found the Univ community to be incredibly welcoming and supportive. Some of my rowing highlights so far include racing in Torpids and Summer Eights — unforgettable experiences both on and off the water. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, and I’m really looking forward to seeing you at our events this year!

Hi, I’m Matthew. I’m a fourth-year Physicist from Leeds and started rowing as a fresher. I have enjoyed my time rowing here and finally caved to being on committee. I have all the relevant skills for being an IT officer which as far as I am aware involves being able to type and use a browser.

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.
