		Boar's Head Boat Club ('BHBC') was founded in July 1999 for former First Lent, First May and
		Henley colours ('Old Boars') from
		<a href="http://www.quns.cam.ac.uk/Queens/Events/QCBC/INDEX.HTM">Queens' College Boat Club</a>,
		Cambridge ('QCBC').
	</p>

	<p>
		Our objectives are:
	</p>
	<ul>
		<li>to encourage Old Boars to stay in training and to arrange for them to regularly
			compete together in rowing events</li>
		<li>to increase the contact between Old Boars and current members of QCBC</li>
		<li>to allow Old Boars to regularly and conveniently make donations to QCBC</li>
		<li>ultimately, to represent ourselves as competitively as possible in the Head of
			the River Race and at Henley Royal Regatta</li>
	</ul>

	<p>
		BHBC is affiliated to the
		<a href="http://www.ara-rowing.org/">Amateur Rowing Association</a>,
		and is based at
		<a href="/location.html#Cam">Queens' College Boathouse</a>
		in Cambridge. We have special permission to use equipment belonging to QCBC.
		Our status as a town club allows us to train on the river Cam in the evenings and on Sundays,
		in addition to the usual river opening times for students.

		To all the Old Boars out there: we are very keen to get as many of you as possible involved
		in BHBC. We hope that many of you will join us and compete for BHBC. The club recently made an
		appearance in
		<a href="http://www.quns.cam.ac.uk/Queens/Record/2000/Sport/BoarsHead.html">The Record, Queens' College Magazine</a>
		so we hope that Old Boars who haven't found this website will see us too.
