Corpus Christi College Boat Club (Cambridge)
Corpus Christi College Boat Club (often shortened to Corpus) is the rowing club for members of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. It represents one of the smallest colleges in Cambridge, meaning that as crews are selected from a small student pool ability often varies from year to year. It shares a boat house with the boat clubs of Sidney Sussex, Girton and Wolfson colleges.
The club currently has five crews rowing in eights. This year all 4 men's crews and the women 1st VIII entered May Bumps 2012. Two men's crews entered Lent Bumps 2012 but the women's 1st VIII were unable to get a full boat together in time for entry.
