Alumnae

The Gryphens was founded as an old girls society, bringing together past members of NCBC. The name 'The Gryphens' was chosen because the griffin bird is used to symbolise Newnham College itself and can be seen displayed on all NCBC kit. The aim of The Gryphens is to ensure that NCBC is not just relevant whilst girls are students of Newnham College, but also after they leave.

Members will be invited to return to Cambridge for races and other events throughout the year, receive termly NCBC newsletters so that they can keep up-to-date with all boat club news and there will be an annual dinner for all members of NCBC, past and present.

For more information about the Gryphens and how to become a member, please contact our development officer Ruth Blackshaw.
