Eton are planning to host the Old Blades Regatta at Dorney Lake on Saturday September 18th (Covid allowing).

Same format as in recent years. Arrive at 2pm.

We provide the equipment as necessary. Hopefully each club can produce an “alumni VIII” including cox (the odd ringer to make up numbers is not an issue and there are usually a few spare rowers / coxes around who can sub in or crews can be combined, or we’ll switch to fours).

It’s very informal but good fun, with short races and a scoring system that means that anyone can win up until the last race (a sprint over 250m). There’s a very good tea afterwards at around 4pm (families can tuck in too). And all for £15 (full price) / £10 (students etc.) per seat (this is not a money-maker…).

Currently Elizabethan Boat Club are the holders of the very impressive Old Blades Trophy

Last years Old Blades Regatta hosted by Eton College at Dorney Lake. Crews taking part included Shiplake, Westminster and Eton. This year was a write off, however spread the word for next year on the 18th September tbc. Over the last few years we have enjoyed competing with Reading Blue Coat, Hampton and St Edwards. Spread the word to see how many 8’s we can get together next year. A great opportunity to row the London Olympics 2012 course and catch up with old friends 🚣🏽‍♂️ 🍺

An excellent day hosted by Eton College on Saturday with 3 x fours and a quad taking part. The event will continue as a yearly regatta on the 3rd Saturday of September. Hoping to have more teams next year. Thanks to all who competed.

Only 3 weeks to go and we are looking for more 8’s to compete at Eton Dorney, 15th Sept. If you rowed for Teddies or Blue Coats, get in touch as they only have partial crews so far.

My favourite Henley picture under the   tag. Good luck to those in the final and remember Eton Old Blades mid-Sept!

Another great event at Eton Dorney with Teddies, Shiplake and Eton Old Viking crews competing over 750m, 500m and 250m. Shiplake entered a well rounded crew with leavers from 2015 to 1977 including a women's Leander rower in the bow seat.

A close race with an Eton, Eton, Shiplake finish over the heats. A final race weighting meant an overall win to Eton by just 1 point.

We look forward to more teams entering next year (3rd Saturday of September likely). Hoping to have Reading Blue Coat and Hampton back from 2016 along with Westminster and Canford who struggled with recruiting a full 8 this year.

Please get in touch with your schools alumni and get your recruits in early. Women's and mixed 8's welcome. Message us for more details!
