Churchill College Association
The Churchill College Association was established to promote friendship between resident and non-resident members — Fellows, students and alumni. From the day you become a member of Churchill College you are a member of the Churchill College Association.
Membership
Membership affords the opportunity for Churchillians to maintain links with The College and each other. The Association organises a number of events which you are welcome to attend, in particular, the Churchill Association Annual Dinner, which takes place in September and coincides with the University’s Alumni Festival weekend. Other special interest groups, activities and events are organised throughout the year so please sign up for the College’s E-Bulletin and check the website for details.
The Churchill College Association Committee meets twice a year and its current Chair is Andrew Stephenson (G89). The Committee is always open to new ideas and feedback, and welcomes your involvement. It would especially welcome volunteers as year representatives.
Please get in touch and get involved – the Churchill College Association exists for all of you!

Association Groups
The Churchill College Association is about bringing together Churchillians who share hobbies, sport and cultural interests.
Our common interest groups include rowing, golf and rugby, creative writing, visits with Churchill Connections  and, thanks to Frank Maine (G60), a passion for orchids. Our new London group is launching a lecture series and Churchillians in Cambridge are getting together for drinks.
Groups like this are a great way to keep in touch with each other and the College. If you like to join us or set one up where you are, please get in touch.
Churchill College Boat Club
The Churchill College Boat Club was founded in 1961 and is open to all members of the College. It emphasises the social aspect of rowing as much as the physical side – members can row as much or as little as they want and are invited to events throughout the year.
Writing Group
Alumna Rosie Johnston U73, novelist, poet and journalist, has been writing since 1992 and offers free writing courses at Churchill College. The Churchill Writers usually meet in the Churchill College Club Room on the middle four Saturdays of each term from 3:30pm – 5:30pm. However at present the group meet approximately once a month virtually over Zoom. The sessions offer the opportunity to write in a safe, positive environment, either for yourself or with the intent of publishing. Everyone who has a Churchill College connection of any kind is welcome and the group sessions are free of charge.
