Administrative history
Spring of 1877 saw the lease of the Boat Club run out, resulting in the creation of a Committee to resolve the problem. During the Long Vacation of 1877, they purchased a piece of land from a Mr Winter for £450. By February 1878 the plans for a new boat house had been designed by Mr. W. M. Fawcett and a Building Fund set up. The estimated cost was £1400 which the members paid.. Members were able to move into the new building by the October of the same year.
