Clare Boat Club
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clare Boat Club is the rowing club for members of Clare College, Cambridge. Prior to about 1930, the Clare 1st VIII spent most of its time near the boundary of the 1st and 2nd divisions of the Lent and May Bumps. It rose to take the headship of the Lent Bumps in 1939. It remained in the top-10 until the 1960s, and returned to form in the early 1970s, taking the headship of the Lent Bumps again in 1973. Since then, the 1st VIII have spend most of its time in the 1st division, but have dropped into the 2nd division on occasions. In the May Bumps, the Clare 1st VIII rose to take the headship in 1941 which it held until 1944 and gained it again in 1949. Since then, it's spend most of the time in the 1st division, but, similar to the Lent Bumps, it's dropped into the 2nd division on occasions. Clare 1st women's VIII started head in the first ever women's Lent Bumps in 1976, but were unable to retain the headship. In 2005, Clare were very close to taking the headship of the Lent Bumps, but Downing managed to cling onto it, although they managed their first Lents headship in 2006. In the first ever women's May Bumps in 1974, Clare started head and retained it and has since held it twice more, in 1979 and 1980. The women's 1st VIII currently are 3rd in the Lent Bumps and 10th in the May Bumps.
