The Infidel Boat Club

The Infidel Boat Club (TIBC) is Girton's alumni boat club. The Club endeavours to encourage networking between alumni who used to row; to support Girton College Boat Club; and to promote rowing within the College and beyond. Since its formation in 2001, TIBC has enabled more than 40 Old Girtonians to get out on the water. The Club organises rowing and social events in Cambridge, London and beyond; and by keeping members updated on both TIBC and GCBC activities, the Club hopes to create a social hub that maintains and develops friendships forged on the Cam.

Funds raised through subscriptions will ensure the Club is able to offer rowing and social activities to alumni, and will help to cover insurance and equipment costs. The overarching aim is to strengthen links between alumni and current Girton students, and to facilitate the development of GCBC.

There is a subscription fee of £25 per year to be a member. Members will be added to an e-mail list and will receive news of forthcoming events and activities. If you wish to join as a Patron, with the chance to have your name acknowledged in rowing programmes, we ask for a donation of at least £200.

If you would like to subscribe to become a Member or Patron of The Infidel Boat Club, then you can either donate online by credit or debit card, download a donation form or request a Friends brochure by contacting JLIB_HTML_CLOAKING .
