#BearsDay- Rowing? Paddle-happy winners!

The rowing club, over the last few months, has had a great start to the academic year, and we are all really excited to show our potential at BUCS too. We’ve had a brilliant intake of freshers, and it’s great to see the team spirit continue from last year. We are aiming to maintain the high levels of enthusiasm as well through the frosty winter mornings we all love so much!

We have been taking on more opportunities to train, work out and improve our standards. In October the senior squad competed at Cambridge Autumn Head. Both the Men’s 8+ IM3 and the Women’s 4+ IM3 won their category, whilst the other boats competing on the day (two more women’s and one more men’s boat) were able to gain very respectable times providing us with a lot of confidence for the rest of the year.

Lastly, we have the anticipated race of the term for our development crews (as well as senior squads) coming up on the 30th November which is a 1k race against other University of London boat clubs. This will be a very exciting day held at the UL boat club, we would love to see people cheering RHUL on! Good luck teams!
