Girton College Boat Club Appeal

The Girton College Boat Club’s (GCBC) membership has been growing rapidly, becoming one of the largest student societies at Girton. In order to support all these members the women’s side needed to purchase an additional boat. In January 2022 GCBC ran a 24-hour ergathon in the College Erg room. Altogether 41 people took part in the ergathon, rowing over 500km in total, and, thanks to the Girton Community, the target was exceeded. In addition, there was a seat-naming sponsorship, and other donations, which together have meant that the new women’s VIII has since arrived and taken pride of place at the boathouse.
