Southampton University Boat Club (SUBC) is the
Southampton University. The club has no definite founding date, and although the earliest evidence of the club to be found existed in 1904, it was not registered as a club with British Rowing until 1929.[1] SUBC is a member of the University of Southampton's Student Union, has over 100 active members, and attracts over 80 new members at the start of every academic year. The boathouse is on the River Itchen, a tidal river in Southampton
