Pembroke College Boat Club is the rowing club for members of Pembroke College, Cambridge. The club members are eligible to row for Cambridge University Boat Club.
History The club has a strong tradition of supplying rowers for The Boat Race, with the first being J. Wilson in the 1863 Boat Race.
Over the 20th century, crews from Pembroke have held the headship of the men's Lent Bumps on four occasions, and the headship of the men's May Bumps ten times. The men's 1st VIII spent their entire history in the 1st division of both events, apart from poor performances in the Lent Bumps 2000 and the May Bumps 2003, and the crew is usually found in the top half of the division. The women's 1st VIII first raced in 1985, and have not yet taken the headship of the Lent Bumps, but took the headship of the May Bumps in 1997, 1998, 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010.
