Boat Race replay and Annual General Meeting

Boat Race replay and Annual General Meeting

  • San Diego boat race

On Sunday, April 7th, Oxford and Cambridge alumni and friends gathered at the Shakespeare Pub and Grille on India Street in downtown San Diego for a same-day replay of the 164th Oxford vs Cambridge Boat Race on the River Thames. Last year Cambridge had swept both the Men’s and Women’s Races and the reserve crew races, and we were anxious for a repeat. As luck would have it we were fully rewarded and look forward to more success in 2020.

Participants were able to place a free “bet” on the results of the two races and winning margins, with the attendee(s) getting closest to the correct results winning exciting prizes.

Following the Races and the awarding of the prizes, Brian Beeston, President, called the Annual General Meeting to order. The decision to amalgamate the local Oxford and Cambridge Societies into the Oxford & Cambridge Societies of San Diego was approved and officers were voted in for another year.
