Collingwood College Boat Club (CCBC) is the rowing club of Collingwood College, part of Durham University. CCBC was formed in 1981 and is housed in the Collingwood College boathouse on the River Wear.
Collingwood is widely held as the most successful college rowing club at Durham University, with last year's (2021) highest ever placing at HORR of 101st, the highest placing of all Durham College crews, and two out of the four Durham University team boats. In the 2017/18 season they were the 3rd most successful university boat club in the country.
The club is led by an executive committee elected by the boat club members. The current president for 23/24 is Tom Bates, the Women's Captain 23/24 is Kasia Macklow-Smith and the Men's Captain 23/24 is Will Hartshorn.
