The 2025 Boat Race Dinner
The 2025 Boat Race Dinner will be held after The Boat Race on Sunday 13 April. Beginning at 18:30, it will take place at the Royal Lancaster London Hotel. This special event celebrates those who have earned life membership to CUBC by racing in either The Boat Race or the Lightweight Boat Race. It is a chance to honour their achievements alongside alumni, parents, and supporters of the Club.
Last year’s dinner brought together over 360 members, parents, and supporters to celebrate the Club’s achievements. We warmly encourage all alumni, including members of all three legacy clubs, as well as parents of current student-athletes, to join us this year.
Parents may wait to purchase tickets until closer to the crew announcements.
To ensure crews are seated together, alumni are kindly asked to provide their crew year when purchasing tickets.
