The Club's Results
May Term 2010
Foster Fairbairn Pairs
Mon 19th - Wed 21st April
A 2000m knock-out regatta for coxless pairs as part of the Small Boats Regatta - raced in the 'chasing' format (boats starting 100 yards apart) from the posts before the motorway bridge to those by the pink house in the Reach.
The small boats races generally attract only a small number of entries - and by regularly entering crews we have had many successes in recent years.

The 2000m qualifying race for the May Bumps
Entries in the bumps without positions in the finishing order of the May bumps last year, and up to 18 crews at the bottom of the last divisions, have to compete over a head race to "get on" to the bumps.

Henley Women's Regatta
Fri 18th - Sun 20th June
A 1500m side by side knock out regatta on the Thames passing by the famous Temple Island and finishing near the centre of Henley.
A prestigious regatta with many international crews competing alongside the finest national clubs. College VIIIs this year had forty-three entries with many university crews, including Cambridge and American universities, racing alongside college eights from Oxford and Cambridge. The event often clashes with the last day of the Bumps and so Cambridge college crews are often unable to enter.
