The Henley Fund was formed in 1927, originally to provide funds for the Boat Club to be able to send a crew to Henley Regatta each year. Nowadays, although the Fund retains its original name, its contributions to the Boat Club have been extended to cover all boat and most other equipment purchases, as well as supporting coaching costs and off Cam training in various different forms. Without support from the Henley Fund, quite simply, Selwyn rowing would not be sustainable.

Although the Fund has benefited from occasional one off donations, it is financed mainly by regular donations from former Boat Club members. Growing the number of regular donors is vital if the Fund, and therefore Selwyn rowing, are to continue to prosper.

SC Permanent Henley Fund Committee:

SCBC is highly dependant upon the Selwyn College Permanent Henley Fund for maintaining and purchasing new equipment and for paying for coaching and training camps. This support is only possible because of the generosity of alumni who donate to the fund. If you would like to make a donation then there are several ways of doing so.

• Regular Subscription: These can be set up as annual or monthly payments for whatever amount you feel able to contribute.
• One-Off Payment: These can also be made to the fund for any amount or if you would like to support a specific purchase then please contact us about this.

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.
