Notable members

King's College Boat Club is the rowing club for members of King's College, Cambridge. The first record of King’s rowing is in 1838.[1]

In 1973, women row at King’s for the first time, forming a women's boat club under the name Queen Margaret of Anjou Boat Club (QMABC). The name QMABC was dropped in 1996, and all King's crews since have rowed under King's College Boat Club.
