Welcome to Jesus
Submitted by Dan on Sat, 01/10/2011 - 14:13Novice rowing at Jesus is a great way to meet new people, stay fit, have fun, get involved in loads of social activities and meet people from other colleges. Not to mention a welcome break from work.
We would love for you to come and try it out and make the most of our excellent facilities and coaching. Even if you are unsure about it, come along and give it a try and if it's not your thing, there'll be no hard feelings.
To get involved come see us at the college freshers' fair (look out for the red and black oars), visit the boat house for the open day BBQ or come meet the senior squad at the JCBC Squash. Or you can contact a Lower Boats Captain (LBC). We look forward to meeting you soon. Have a great freshers' week.
The Boathouse Open Day will be 11:00-16:00, Sunday 9th October 2011. Come along for a BBQ and to see what rowing is all about (map to Jesus Boathouse).

Submitted by sce26 on Mon, 22/11/2010 - 22:35Emma Sprints 2010 took place on Sunday 21st November with some positive results for the Jesus novices during their first taste of real (i.e. on-river) racing, particularly for NM1 who came second out of the men's crews and of course NW1 who demonstrated that they are not only the fastest crew on the ergs at Queens' Ergs last week, but on the water too!
Queens' Ergs 2010
Submitted by sce26 on Fri, 19/11/2010 - 21:23With 5 men’s teams and 3 women’s teams, JCBC’s Novice squad was the best represented of all colleges (including Queens) at Queens Ergs this year. Great team spirit and a lot of effort ensured that the Jesus results were equally as impressive as the turnout.
W1 won the women’s competition with an avg. split of 1:50.7 seconds, completing the 8x500m race 13.6 seconds faster than the runners up! M1 came an agonising second, with an avg. split of 1:30.7 seconds they were just 1second per man behind winners Churchill. Nick Parkes of Jesus NM1 also recorded the fastest individual men’s time of the event.
