Rowing at Oxford is something every student should try once. Luckily for Mansfield College Boat Club that's usually enough for most people to catch the boating bug! Very few students coming to Mansfield have had much rowing experience, allowing many novices the opportunity to row at a high level within a term of taking up the sport.

The major competitions include Christ Church Regatta for novices in Michaelmas Term and the ‘bumps races’ (where boats aim to catch each other up, rather than rowing side by side) - Torpids and Summer Eights - in Hilary and Trinity Terms respectively.
