Discover the remarkable journey of Oxford Brookes University Boat Club, arguably the world's most successful rowing club. This book showcases triumphs from 1990 to 2024. It delves into its history of the club, key figures, and inspiring stories, including interviews with top athletes, past and present, and a foreword by Sir Steve Redgrave,
Richard Spratley, through the whole period, and Henry Bailhache-Webb, during the last 20 years, deserve huge credit for what they have achieved. Indeed, everyone involved with Oxford Brookes University Boat Club during that period, from the men and women who were early pioneers at ‘the Poly’, to the youngsters signing up last year, from Olympic winners to sixth-boat strivers, should feel proud of themselves. They have all contributed to a great sporting story of hard work, innovation, and achievement, and the building of a truly great club. (Photograph ©AllMarkOne)
