Don’t tell me they age-checked you 😜 “Visibly over 18”

Last minute change to the CUBC men’s Blue Boat with Tom Macky being dropped to Goldie and Luke Beever stepping up. Also Simon Hatcher and Luca Ferraro swap seats (bow and 7). #TheBoatRace

So, with Juniors on Friday, seniors on Saturday and Masters on Sunday this has the makings of the biggest 3-day #rowing festival in Britain (& maybe Europe). Potentially over 1000 crews could race during the 3 days

Changes to Fours Head Events following the launch of the Junior Fours Head The Committee of the Fours Head warmly welcomes the addition of the Junior Fours Head to the racing calendar. As our race has been over-subscribed for many years, it is clear that more racing capac…

Big changes for the Fours ahead 2025 with the split between senior and junior events. Should hopefully free up space for all senior crews to race that want to, and also that the junior event quickly establishes itself as a major event in the junior calendar fourshead.org/2025/04/08/c...

A friend of the family used to be the Landlord there in the late 70’s. I remember there used to be a tug of war v The Maybush across the river, the winners were the first to pull their opponents into the water!

Just wondering if, with everything going on in the USA at the moment, the prospect of studying and #rowing at an American University will become less and less attractive to non-Americans.

Not to be pedantic but it was 20 men and 16 women….all 4 coxes are men 😜

CUBC have named their reserve crews for #TheBoatRace the women’s reserve crew (Blondie) are coxed by Louis De Neve who, at 193cm, is the tallest in the crew and possibly the tallest cox to ever race in either reserves or Blue Boat

My next year was 1989 with UL…started 415th finished 14th! I reckon that’s got to be close to the most places gained ever 😂

I raced in ‘86 but moved school for ‘87 to a school that focused on 4’s so didn’t get to race that year

Very sad news

Not a particularly helpful comment from a member of the OUBC exec

World Rowing - Rowing Enters a new era with Key Innovations for the Classic Rowing discipline World Rowing is taking a major step forward in the evolution of the sport, with three decisions confirmed at the recent Quadrennial Congress.

And now a comment from Matt Heywood, must be said, OUBC aren’t emerging out of this smelling very good

Imogen Grant calls it “slimy” by Oxford

No more information than what’s in the statement, for some reason the PGCE has been deemed an ineligible course for the purposes of the Boat Race. It also impacts Kate Crowley (cox of the LW8 crew in 24) and Molly Foxell (Blondie 24). Maybe CUBC will issue a clarification statement?

Statement on the eligibility of PGCE students for The Boat Race 2025 Cambridge University Boat Club is deeply disappointed by the news that our PGCE students have been classified as ineligible to race in The Boat Race. There is no question academically about the sta…

CUBC athletes studying for a PGCE have been ruled as ineligible to compete in this year’s Boat Race. This rules out U23 World Champion Matt Heywood and 2024 lightweight cox Kate Crowley cubc.org.uk/2025/03/17/s...

Strong result for both Thames Rowing Club and Molesey Boat Club, 2nd and 3rd behind a star-studded NED W8 at the Heineken in Amsterdam #rowing

Could we see mixed 2X and 8+ (with mandatory doubling-up) at the #LA2028 #Olympics ? The proposal is being discussed at the World Rowing Congress

So a pet hate of mine (one of many as I get older and grumpier) why do clubs refer to their crews as 1V and 2V this makes me think they’re rowing a 5. It usually means “Varsity” which is a University team not a club….how hard is it to write 1st VIII instead??
