FCBC
Floreat Castellum Boat Club (FCBC) is an Alumni network that provides support to the current University College Boat Club. All members of FCBC donate a monthly or annual amount to the FCBC fund, with the aim of providing extra equipment, boats and funds for a future substantial boat house renovation.
FCBC was created in 2002 by the 2002 & 2003 leavers. It exists to support UCBC and to have fun:
- Organises an annual reunion meal and a drinks reception at Henley Royal Regatta.
- Keeps UCBC alumni rowers in touch with current UCBC news via a mailing list.
- Raises awareness of any FCBC members who are competing in major races for their own clubs.
- Challenges UCBC after Durham Regatta each year.
- Co-ordinates race crews for those wishing to compete for FCBC.
- Fundraises for UCBC.
- In 2011, FCBC helped to donate a new Janousek 8+ to UCBC named "Maurice the Master".
- In 2014, FCBC helped to donate a new Stämpfli 4+ to UCBC named "Floreat Castellum Boat Club"
