The Club's Results

Mich Term 2023

Cambridge Autumn Head
Sat 14th October
2,600m head race upstream on the River Cam organised by Rob Roy Boat Club
Near the start of Michaelmas term this is an early barometer of a crew's speed for Fairbairns or more a test of the captain's organisation in getting a decent boat out so soon after term starts. Also, an opportunity to try out a IV in preparation for Uni IVs.

Queens' Novice Ergo Competition
Sun 5th November
A 500m team ergo competition for Novices and Senior VIIIs.
The first taste of competition for the novice squads, most of the college boat clubs enter their novice crews in to this fun event.

Cambridge Winter Head
Sat 11th November
A timed head race over 2500m, from the Motorway bridge to the (no longer extant) Penny Ferry pub.
