The club met for a party and naming ceremony for our new ladies 8+, Ann Glanville. Ann was a pioneering female rower in the 19th century, known for her exceptional strength, skill, and determination in an era when rowing was predominantly a male sport. Naming a boat after Ann Glanville is a tribute to her enduring legacy of resilience and excellence, values we embrace here at X-Press.

Congratulations to Peterhouse for winning the John Dent Trophy for the second year running. Thanks to all X-Press marshals for making it all possible!
Two X-Press 4+ crews entered the Vogalonga 40km race through the canals of Venice. The Vogalonga is an annual event that celebrates human-powered watercraft - it was an unforgettable challenge, weaving through even more boats than on the Cam.
