Sydney University Boat Club
Sydney University Boat Club is the rowing club in Sydney, Australia with the oldest charter having been formed in 1860 by the founders of the University of Sydney. It has had a boatshed presence in various locations on Sydney Harbour since 1886, excepting between 1941 and 1966. A varsity and recreational club during most of its history, the Boat Club has since the 1990s had a focus on its high performance and elite rowing programs. Supported by the University's Sports Union the Club has developed an increasing number of Olympic representative oarsmen and women in the new millennium with club members taking eleven seats in the Australian Olympic crews who represented between Athens 2004 and London 2012.
==History==
The Sherington/Georgakis reference quotes research that University archives record a meeting of officers of the SUBC and election of officeholders at point prior to 1861 and probably 1860. The University's first Chancellor Sir Charles Nicholson was named as the club's first president.〔(Murray-Smith quotes Sherington/Georgakis )〕 This reference is the basis of the club's 1860 heritage claim.
The first inter-university boat race was rowed in Melbourne in December, 1870. The Sydney University crew were all members of the then newly formed Sydney Rowing Club, being E. A. Iceton (bow), Edmund Barton, Dick Teece and Allan Yeomans (stroke).〔(Early Club Histories )〕 In 1885 the Sydney University Boat Club's first annual general meeting was held with Barton elected chairman at that inaugural meeting. A site was obtained in Woolloomooloo near that of the Woolloomooloo Bay Rowing Club and the Sydney Rowing Club's first shed and a clubhouse was built and opened in June, 1886.〔 The Sydney Morning Herald announced the club's fifth annual general meeting in 1891, giving credence to a true 1885 start date.〔(5th SUBC 5th AGM )〕
The club's contemporary rise to success in producing consistent national representative elite oarsmen and women has been driven by club president, Chris Noel from 1987. Noel is a boatshed alumnus from the 1960s and 1970s and was elected President of the SUBC in 1987. He became a personal financial benefactor the club; represented the club in senior positions on the University Sports Union and Senate Management committees; mentored athletes and coaches and drove a rowing sporting scholarship program. Noel was conferred a Honorary Fellowship of the University in 2007.〔(Noel's Honorary Award citation )〕
