Welcome to the Taurus Boat Club website, for pas oarsmen and oarswomen of the Oxford Poly and Oxford Brookes University boat clubs. Current Brookes boat club members also welcome.

Our aims are simple - to promote social links between past and present members of Oxford Brookes/Poly Boat Club; to support the current student rowing club wherever possible, financially and otherwise; and to promote rowing participation amongst the Taurus membership.

If you haven't already joined Taurus, get in touch with our membership secretary and send in your form. Then let the partying begin...!

AS OF SATURDAY 28th NOVEMBER, THE BOAT NAMING IS DEFINITELY ON

Sunday 29th November 2009 Taurus is holding a massive boat-naming ceremony at the Brookes boathouse - click on the link for details. We are naming five boats after some of our top Olympians - Ben Hunt-Davis, Rowley Douglas, Fred Scarlett, Steve Williams and Alex Partridge. Ben, Rowley and Steve will all be on hand to do the honours. Please let Robbie Kennedy know if you are coming, so that we can plan the catering. A splash-about on the river may be included if enough people bring their lycra (totally optional). Families very welcome.
Newsletter out - The November 2009 issue of The Bull has been despatched to the membership by post, and a few spare copies will be available to anyone who is not a member and wants to sign up during the boat-naming ceremony on Sunday 29th. For the future, since printing and postage costs are so high, anyone who can receive it online is encouraged to tell us their email address (even if you think we have already got it) so that we can save Taurus money for better things (like partying and buying boats). Anyone who has changed snail address in the last year please let us know anyway (even if you're opting for the e-newsletter), so that we can keep records up to date.
Boathouse extension - no specific news yet, but there are plans afoot to extend the Brookes boathouse to provide even better facilities. It's very early days - watch this space.
Website update - there are dozens of photos of Taurus activities which we couldn't fit into the newsletter, and a website update will take place this November/December so you can see friends in all their glory. Please send in any other good photos/videos you have and want to share.
Taurus on Facebook and Twitter - See the Facebook link and Taurus on Twitter. We will start using these more to get the word out about events.
Have you joined Taurus yet? If no, why not? Visit the Downloads page and print off the form. And send the website address to all your ex-OBUBC/Poly mates who haven't joined yet, and get them to do it.

YOU KNOW IT'S WORTH IT....
