Message from the President
It is a great honour to be elected President of the CUBC. This is the best Boat Club in the world with fantastic membership, a great support team and with a world class programme.
This is an exciting time for the Club. We have had a fantastic summer. First a crew of current students represented GB as a second crew in the 4- at the World Cup Regatta in Poznan, gaining valuable experience thereby. Next, the same crew won the Stewards Challenge Cup at Henley, continuing a strong tradition of success at the Royal Regatta. Finally, all CUBC men and women will have rejoiced at the victory of the Coxless IV at the Olympic Regatta with Tom James (Blue 2003, 05, 06, 07) in the bow seat, and the Silver Medal in the VIII with Old Blues Josh West and Tom Stallard on board.
We are now about to start our 2009 campaign. I look forward to the challenge of taking on Oxford again next March.
Henry Pelly,
President CUBC, 2008-9
