it’s been a hot minute hasn’t it… 
with Bumps and BCD being nearly 2 months ago, we are - fashionably late as always - BACK, with the hot NCBC content you thought you’d never see (if you haven’t forgotten about us already that is xoxo) 
 
BUMPS WAS A BLAST 
rawr-worthy results from every crew!! 🫦 with W1 staying in the top 12 of the river, and W2 and W3 all securing one bump or more! (for those of you used to super blading and/or to whom this may not seem to be that spectacular a performance, pls remember we are recovering spoon addicts 🥄 🙏) 
 
special shout-out to Newnham’s first-ever full ginger crew!! W2 painted the town red(head), taking the iconic double-plaited Newnham trademark look to a whole new fiery level 🔥🔥 Wendy sponsorship pending 👩🏻‍🦰🍟⏳ (full consent to being submitted to orange hair dye was more or less obtained beforehand, no welfare worries here) 
 
A BANGING BCD 
true to our club’s healthqueen lifestyle of staying well hydrated (i.e. proseccodrated), our termly Boat Club Dinner was yet another highlight to remember (or try to remember, depending on aforementioned hydration levels...) 💦🍾 
 
muchas gracias to our lovely .rnoci for her suave skills with the camera 💃📸 te quiero mucho corazoncito 🫶 
 
also a huge THANK YOUU and WE LOVE YOUUU to all our amazing alum who joined us for dins and our boathouse unveiling the next day 🥂🏠🌳 couldn’t wish for more fabulous fairy godmothers than you 🧚✨

✨good things come to those who wait✨ - e.g. ncbc’s regatta race recaps and hot head highlights 🥵🔥🫦

a few weeks ago (insta posts prompt and punctual as always xoxo), our 1sts and 2nds took on 99s Regatta, with a fabuloussss finish from our W2, who made it all the way to the finals and finished a very very close 2nd right after Medwards W1 (love our sexy speedy Oc*****sy queens 💋)

last weekend, the same crews took up the Xpress head challenge and did, indeed, serve some speedy head, with W2 putting down some hella hench watts, finishing in 2nd place just 2 seconds off medwards W1 (got a feeling of déjà-vu? we do too 💅 clearly just cant keep ourselves away from you 🫶🫶)
aaaand phenomenal performance from out our 1st IV who, true to their name, finished 1st of their div - ncbc head game popping off as per💪💪

watch this space for incoming bumps broadcasting!!! 💙💛💥💥
