SUPPORT THE MBC ROWING TEAM
Marlborough Boys’ College Rowing warmly invites Old Collegians, current and past parents, local businesses, and rowing supporters to become part of the MBC Rowing Supporters Club.
Rowing at MBC is built on tradition, hard work, and community support. By joining the Supporters Club, you are helping ensure our athletes have the equipment, opportunities, and resources needed to train, compete, and succeed at the highest level.
Join the MBC Rowing Supporters Club today and help shape the future of rowing at MBC.
The Supporters Club exists to strengthen and connect the MBC Rowing community — past, present, and future.
The Supporters Club aims to:
Connect the past and present MBC rowing community
Fund new boats and equipment to keep our programme competitive
Support long-term success and sustainability of rowing at Marlborough Boys’ College
Rowing plays a powerful role in developing young men through teamwork, dedication, resilience, and commitment — values that carry far beyond the water.
MBC Rowing has a rich history of achievement and continues to produce rowers who compete at the highest level. We are proud to celebrate Old Collegians such as Robbie Manson and Tom Murray, who have represented New Zealand on the world stage, with Tom earning the ultimate honour as an Olympic Gold Medallist.
Today, that legacy continues. The 2025–26 season is already shaping up to be a strong one, with our crews earning gold, silver, and bronze medals across multiple categories. These successes reflect the dedication of our athletes, the leadership of Head Coach Clayton Lindstrom, the coaching team, and the ongoing support of our wider rowing community.
MBC Rowing is launching a focused fundraising campaign to ensure we can continue purchasing and replacing essential equipment such as boats, oars, and racing gear.
Following reduced fundraising during the pandemic years, it is critical we rebuild momentum for the 2025–26 season and beyond, meet our equipment replacement goals, and honour the legacy of past supporters who helped build the programme into what it is today.
Your membership helps ensure Marlborough Boys’ College remains a leading rowing school — now and into the future.

Raising $40,000 per year for the next five years
