SURC News: Issue 2 (Autumn 2026)

The second issue of SURC News is here, covering the first half of the 2026/27 season.

It’s been a busy few months. Around 100 students trialled for the novice squads, and 50 rowers and coxes earned their place. Sam Candy and Luca McKenzie trialled for the GB Rowing U23 team. At BUCS Indoors in Leeds, our senior men took 1st, 2nd and 3rd in both the 2k and the 250m sprint, and our novice women raced their first competition. We’ve also welcomed a new Empacher eight, with a bow-loaded coxed four on its way.

The issue also covers our new committee, Rowvember, 12 Days of SURCmas for UNICEF, and a save the date for the Winter Meal and alumni event on Saturday 12 December at Tapton Hall.
