Lucy Cavendish College Boat Club (LCCBC) is a rowing club on the River Cam, based at the Emmanuel Boat Club, 1 Cutter Ferry Lane, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire^[1]

History[]

In 2003 there was an official merger with the boat club of Hughes Hall, a constituent college of the University of Cambridge. The result was a combined club formally recognised by the Cambridge University Combined Boat Clubs as the "Hughes Hall/ Lucy Cavendish Combined Boat Club". This combination was the only of its type at Cambridge.

After the merger of the two college boat clubs, Hughes Hall and Lucy Cavendish enjoyed significant advances marked by three squads winning blades during the May Bumps 2009, including a ten place gain by M2.^[2] It was also the first time the boat club fielded four crews into the May Bumps. Hughes Hall/ Lucy Cavendish have won the Pegasus Cup, awarded to the boat club that shows the largest cumulative advancement at the bumps, three times – in 2007, 2009 and 2014. They are the only club to have won the Pegasus Cup on more than one occasion.

In October 2017 it was announced that the two college clubs were to separate.^[3]

With the help of benefactors Dame Veronica Sutherland and Dr Lindsay Traub, the club was able to purchase a novice boat called Lady Charlotte and a first boat called Speedwell.^[4] The boats are housed in the Emmanuel Boat Club boathouse which is also shared with the Hughes Hall Boat Club.
