Sports and Punting Harbour
The college has its own squash court and croquet lawn, and takes part in many university sporting events, including cricket, soccer, and the yearly rowing competition. It is one of the few in Oxford with its own punting harbour, with a well maintained fleet of punts for use by all members of the college community. There is a boat club on the ground floor of 'C' Block, for this purpose, which is under the supervision of the Admiral of Punts, chosen annually from the existing student body of the college.

Famous quotes containing the words sports and/or harbour:
“The whole idea of image is so confused. On the one hand, Madison Avenue is worried about the image of the players in a tennis tour. On the other hand, sports events are often sponsored by the makers of junk food, beer, and cigarettes. What’s the message when an athlete who works at keeping her body fit is sponsored by a sugar-filled snack that does more harm than good?”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
“Patience, the beggar’s virtue, Shall find no harbour here.”
—Philip Massinger (1583–1640)
