| The origins and significance of the club's two-shield emblem strike me as interesting - particularly since we use that and the Cat and Buns on their own interchangeably. When I put together the logo for this website I did a little bit of research - and have written it up for a page in the Club section. | ||

| I have also uploaded the text of a letter from 1882 which describes the formation of Trinity Boat Club - again, to be found in the Club section, or you can just click here. | ||

| Just a few additions and another picture to the page about the club's shields - I think is finished now. If anyone knows why the Black Prince was called the Black Prince... | ||

Martin said: If anyone knows why the Black Prince was called the Black Prince... Because when he was off invading France etc he wore black armour. He married the Fair Maid of Kent... | ||

| Not that anyone really cares, but the double emblem comes from the merger. It would appear that TBC always used the "cat and buns" though its origins are obsure. I don't actually agree with Rouse Ball about this. Also, though mainly accurate Bayley is a bit wrong when you examine the other bits of histoty about the founding. Martin, I'll write something about the early origins if you want. | ||

| Yes, please do. Most of what I've pieced together is from Rouse-Ball's book (which I'm intending to add to the website in the near future). His suggestions re: the cat & buns look quite reasonable. I am hopeful this will all be joined by the full fruits of your labour at some point? | ||
