🚣‍♂️ Good luck at Henley! 🚣‍♂️

Very best of luck to our alumni racing at Henley Royal Regatta.

Good luck to Lachlan Jones in the Wyfold Challenge Cup, Marcus Baldwin and Jack Simm in the Thames Challenge Cup and Edward Bowman in the Silver Goblets & Nickalls’ Challenge Cup.

It is fantastic to see so many Grey alumni competing at such a high level, and the whole club will be cheering you on. Many of GCBC will also be at Henley on Thursday 2nd July, so we hope to see lots of you there!

If we have missed anyone racing, please do get in contact so we can add you. [email protected]

We are delighted to officially welcome Hubert French to the GCBC fleet.

This new boat is an exciting addition for the club and will make a real difference to our crews going forward. We are incredibly grateful for the generosity and support that made this possible.

The name holds special significance, as Hubert French is not only John French's name but also his father’s, grandfather’s, and eldest son’s, making it a wonderful tribute across generations.

We look forward to seeing Hubert French out on the water for many years to come!

On the 18th of March, we’ll be taking on 24 hours non-stop on the water to raise money for a new men’s 4+.
After last year’s 24-hour ergathon, we decided that staying dry was a bit too easy - so this year we’re stepping it up and taking it onto the river.
For 24 hours straight, crews will be rowing through the day and night - all to help us reach our goal and invest in equipment that will make a huge difference to the squad.

Read our story on the JustGiving page. https://www.justgiving.com/page/gcbcmens4?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL&utm_campaign=020

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a genuine difference.

Thank you so much for your support — we’ll definitely need it at 3am!

P.S. get thinking of boat names! There will be another fundraiser to determine this.
