The University of Warwick Boat Club is the rowing club of the University of Warwick. The club was founded in 1967[1] and as of 2019 has over a hundred members.[2] It rows out of a boathouse on a 3.5km stretch of the River Avon, Warwickshire. It caters for all levels of rowers from novices to experienced oarsman.[3] The club regularly attends races throughout the United Kingdom, including Pairs Head, Fours Head, Eights Head, BUCS fours and eights, BUCS Regatta, Marlow Regatta and Henley.
Notable former members include Oxford University Boat Club member and Boat Race winner Ben Ellison,[4] Olympian Tom Solesbury,[5] and Team GB para-rowing coxswain Oliver James MBE.[6]
The club was known internationally for the nude wall calendars produced by its members, first as 'Warwick Rowers' later as 'Worldwide Roar'.[7] However, the club and the calendar are no longer affiliated.
