History
In 1837, the Club represented Oxford in the third Boat Race against Lady Margaret Boat Club, representing Cambridge, and won. This event, held on the River Thames at Henley-on-Thames, is credited with leading to support from the town for the establishment of the Henley Royal Regatta.
The club was last Head of the River in Eights in 1957, and in Torpids in 1958.
