Outings

VIII outingOn Saturday 27th September 2008 an alumni VIII and an alumni IV both had outings and had the chance to spar against several Fitzwilliam Alumni Crews. The VIII was comprised of rowers who matriculated in 1998 while the IV included rowers from the 1960’s as well as featuring Chris Lloyd, Selwyn boatman.

The IV did especially well, beating a Peterhouse IV over 600m down the reach and drawing with the Fitz alumni IV. The Selwyn VIII were unlucky to lose to Fitz VIII but overall everyone had a great afternoon of rowing in the sun.

Alumni crews go out every year during September and usually have the opportunity to spar against some Fitz crews. If you are interested in being involved in this next year then get in touch with Roger Snelson via the SCBC Henley Fund Officer.

Dinner

A dinner is held on alternate years for members of the Permanent Henley Fund. The last dinner took place in Selwyn on the Saturday of The Lent Bumps in 2007. This saw the return of several crews, in particu¬lar those from 1964 and 1977.

The dinner was proceeded by a display of items from the archive, including the recently purchased McEldowney items, and the triennual Gen¬eral Meeting of the Henley Fund. During the dinner we had speeches from members of both the 1964 and 1977 crews as well as from David Dufton, Mens’ captain.

The following morning some members of the 1977 blade winning crew took out a boat and had a very successful outing!
