York St John University Rowing Club
York St John Boat Club (YSJBC) has a history beginning in 1852, eleven years after the founding of the institution where it is based. YSJBC is the longest standing club of the university and has an affiliation to the British Rowing.
The club has 50 members and is one of the clubs of the York St John Students' Union. The club is in a significant development phase, with the vast majority of our members learning to row on arrival at university. YSJBC welcomes students, alumni and staff to participate in the club.
The boathouse is based beside the River Ouse, opposite York City Rowing Club between Lendal Bridge and the Scarborough Railway Bridge next to the Museum Gardens. Vehicle access is via Marygate.
