The University IVs regatta will take place in the afternoons of Monday 28th October to Friday 1st November.
Entries will open shortly and close two weeks before the event. Division times will be released shortly after entries close and will depend on entries. Please ensure competing crews are available all five afternoons. Each club will also be required to provide marshals.
We will, as ever, be offering the usual coxed and coxless fours divisions. If anyone is interested in entering a coxless boat, please get in touch. We're happy to encourage more entries into this category, but we have not run the divisions for a number of years due to a lack of entries.
The May Bumps 2024 will take place from Wednesday 12th to Saturday 15th June 2024. The Getting-on Race took place on Friday 7th June 2024.
