Rachael — a lush boat for a lush woman.

Today our new women’s coxless four was named in memory of Rachael Ancliffe, who coached the junior squad at City for many years, rowed with the COWs, and was a joyful presence on the Cam. She was a strong believer in giving it all for the team. She is very missed. Her husband Phil and the Ancliffe family, who were City juniors, were there, as well as many of their rowing peers.

Her memory lives on as we take out this new sleek boat.

The Christmas Head has been cancelled.

Unfortunately we've made the decision to cancel the race. The wind is very strong and gusty which would make marshalling problematic, while the course would only be suitable for experienced crews.

I'll process refunds over the next couple of days and will be sending money back to the cards used for payment.

Thanks for all you patience - we really wanted to run the race if safe, but it's not worth the risk.

Everything ready for the morning. Fingers crossed the weather is fine.

Update on the Christmas Head.

The forecast isn’t looking good for Saturday, but keeps changing. Given how many recent races have been called off, the race committee will do our best to run the event if safe.

The race course is sheltered, and most people entering are local, so we will leave the decision as late as possible – this could be on Saturday morning. Any change to race status will be notified to club entry secretaries on our website.

You can find the final draw below and we really hope we can welcome you on Saturday.

Looking forward to welcoming you all to the race in a week.

The course is 1,800m long running from the Pike and Eel to outside Jesus boathouse. It's a light-hearted race with many crews ...
