Van Mildert College Boat Club (VMBC) is the rowing club of Van Mildert College, Durham at Durham University on the River Wear in England.[1][2]

VMBC was founded in 1965 by Simon Scott, an Engineering undergraduate at Durham University and one of the founding members of Van Mildert College.[3][4]

VMBC is a registered Boat Club through British Rowing, with Boat Code "VAN"[5] and is a member organisation of Durham College Rowing.[6]

In Durham, the club is a regular participant at Durham Regatta,[7] races across the north east, the Head of the River Race[8] and the Women's Eights Head of the River Race[9] in London and Durham College Rowing events.
