Below are some additional photos of trophies and kit which may be of general interest.
The original trophy for the winner of the women's boat race between Cambridge and Oxford universities which was presented by Miss Betty Francombe in 1936. It is now used as the trophy for the Victor Ludorum of the women's boat races.
This is the presentation shield for the women's boat race, which John Marks had made when the Francombe Cup went missing.
1971 Tuttle Cup:
These are the shorts worn by Ruth Bonney, who rowed for the club 1953-6 and was elected president in 1955 but had to withdraw from the role on the advice of her tutors. In the mid 1950s her shorts were still Newnham brown - and were tailored by Bodgers.
These elegant rowing shorts with reinforced seat were worn by Marian Deakin who rowed and coxed for the club in the early 1970s. The pale (not Cambridge) blue top from the same period was worn by Jane Wood, who rowed with Marian.
