Cecilia Bogle

Hi, I’m Cecilia and this is my 5th year with Boat Club and for the past two years I’ve had the privilege of being your Senior Women’s Captain. After being so involved in squad leadership and the wider running of the club, I’d love the opportunity to give back one more time as your VPs and Alumni Officer - alongside the wonderful Mathura as I think we would make an unstoppable duo!

What I hope to achieve as one of your Alumni Officer:

• A thriving alumni community that members want to remain a part of RUMSBC
• Fun and affordable VPs events
• Stronger links between alumni and current squads  - socially and academically
• An alumni crew at at more UH races!
• Incredible VP raffle prizes secured through connections and cheeky negotiating

I absolutely love this club. Over the last two years I’ve learnt how to organise people, manage logistics, and motivate a team while keeping things running smoothly. I’ve worked closely with committee and coaches, and I’m confident coordinating events and bringing people together.

This year, I also secured brand new blades for the women’s squad - something that needed negotiation and persistence. I’d bring that same drive to sourcing securing amazing VP prizes through connections, and making sure we’re getting the best possible deals for the VPs events. The VP's role feels like a natural extension of what I’ve been doing: planning, coordinating, and strengthening the community that makes Boat Club so special - both now and long after we have left.
