The Crichton University Campus Boat Club (CUCBC) is a university rowing club based at the Crichton Campus - Dumfries (Scotland). It was established in 2012 and is sub-affiliated to the local Nithsdale Amateur Rowing Club (NARC) as well as being a member of Scottish Rowing.[1] CUCBC is the oldest and most successful club on the Dumfries Campus. Since 2012, its members have been competing at regional and national level and have won various regattas throughout Scotland and England - mainly at Strathclyde Park Regatta, Scottish Championships, Hexham Regatta, Tees Regatta, Nithsdale Regatta and Castle Semple Regatta.[2] Although the club's target is mainly beginners and novice rowers, a small section of the club is dedicated to more competitive rowing. The club has been Vice-Scottish Champions in Men's Novice Four (4+) twice in a row (in 2013 and again in 2014), Vice-Scottish Champion in Women's Novice Quad (4x+) in 2015 and was Scottish Champion in Men's Novice Quad (4x+) in 2015.[2] The colours of the club are red, white and blue as shown on the club's one piece.
