The Celebration of the 175th Anniversary of the Boat Race

If anyone has any photos of the evening, please email them to me and I will add them to the SlideShow. (I am not aware of any "Official" Photographs. Did anyone see any photographer in the Painted Hall?)

The slideshow is 9.5 MG and may take a little time to open.

The Seating Plan and the Menus are smaller; but will also take a little time to open.

Please keep in touch and update your email address so that you receive your invitation to the 200th Dinner.

There are no more places at the Dinner. The lists are therefore closed (again) I am afraid as at June10 with Light Blues outnumbering the Dark Blues.

No Guest Photography will be permitted according to the Palace Press Office. But, thank goodness, a professional photographer will be there. (And I hope more than one.)

I understand that photographs will be permitted on the Silver Sturgeon, the Slivver SloeGin, The Silver Splurgeon, the Slivver Slurpgin or whatever it has been named by various respondees to this website.

READ THE LETTER ACCOMPANYING YOUR INVITATION

By the way, you won't get there unless you have your Invitation and Passport or Drivers Licence with your picture on it. Security will be VERY firm.

Some not so Heavies have been unable to arrange their lives to achieve what can be achieved and have had to pull out of the 175th celebrations. There are therefore a handful of seats available. Download the application form and book now!

The organisers seem to have properly anticipated out needs. The following refreshments will be available:

  • 2 bottles champagne between 3 people on the Silver Splurgeuon
  • A glass of champagne each in the Painted Whore
  • Half a bottle of white per head
  • 2/3 of a bottle of red per head
  • 2 glasses of port a head
  • Plus Rolf Munding's beer on the return journey.

A comment from an Archetypal states:

"These are near coma inducing levels. However, if you haven't had enough, you can always drink the Remembrancer's and the Fortunates's (who is going to a wedding in Greenwich that pm and will be so far gone that he won't remember if you've drunk his or not)"

There appears to be some uncertainty in the minds of some (have they been imbibing prematurely?) as to the location of the Savoy Pier. I would guess even from Australia that it is on the Thames somewhere near the Savoy Hotel. For those still in doubt, you can find out by clicking here

I am sorry to say that the Dinner is now booked out. To any of you who have missed out, please be patient and await the 200th Anniversary. Why not book now to ensure your place at the dinner?

Come and Celebrate the 175th Anniversary of the Boat Race in style, ease and comfort. Please contact your contemporaries to make sure they are coming as well.

A terrific evening is planned.

The Dinner will be in The Painted Hall in Greenwich and His Royal Highness Duke of Edinburgh will be present. You don't have to worry about getting to Greenwich.  The MV Silver Sturgeon will leave the Savoy Pier at 5.45pm on 18 June.

Please click here for information on the Program for the evening.

Because of privacy laws I am not able to divulge who is coming.  I have however set out a graph which shows how many people from each year are coming.  (Please click here to view it.) I have only entered the year where the person has first rowed for his or her university.  The only years where we have no members attending the Dinner are 1948, 2000 and 2001.  You can therefore be rest assured that your contemporaries will be there.

Please make sure all your contemporaries and Boat Club friends are aware of this website giving news of the 150th Celebrations of the Boat Race.

If you have any useful suggestions regarding this website please let me know. (Click here to email me)
