Balliol College Boat Club (BCBC) is the rowing club for members of Balliol College, Oxford, England. It is one of the college boat clubs at the University of Oxford. Balliol College also competes at external regattas including Marlow Regatta and Henley Royal Regatta. ==History== The Balliol College Archives have much material concerning the Boat Club from about 1840 onwards. The Buttery has an extensive collection of sports photographs and trophies including many to do with the Boat Club. Although it is questioned whether an official boat club existed until the 1850s.〔Sherwood, p. 16.〕 The base of the Boat Club for the latter part of the 19th century and much of the 20th century was a grand barge, which was moored on the River Thames at the south side of Christ Church Meadow. The barge was bought from the Skinners' Company in 1859.〔Sherwood, p. 92.〕 The present boathouse (semi-detached, with New College occupying the other half) was opened in May 1959. The barge was on view in 1996 at Henley, when it was up for auction. The first recorded headship by Balliol College was in 1851, bumping Wadham College on the first day,〔Sherwood, p. 118.〕 and later they reclaimed headship in 1855 on the seventh night after bumping Brasenose College.〔Sherwood, p. 120.〕 The College has been Head of the River in the Summer Eights many times, notably a longish run in the 1950s and also regaining the Headship in 2008. Balliol’s previous last reign at the Head of the River was when they were head of Torpids for three consecutive years (1968–71). At Henley Royal Regatta, Balliol has won the following events:〔Sherwood, pp. 317–346.〕 * Ladies Plate – 1855, 1858, 1890, 1891 * Visitors' Cup – 1899 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Balliol College Boat Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
