We are delighted to invite you to join fellow Cambridge alumni and friends for a special reception welcoming the Cambridge University Boat Club crews to Boston ahead of the 2026 Head of the Charles Regatta. Taking place on Friday, October 16, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at The Charles Hotel, this gathering offers a wonderful opportunity to meet and celebrate the athletes as they prepare to represent Cambridge on one of the world's most renowned rowing stages. Guests will enjoy canapés and refreshments, and we are especially pleased that Lord Chris Smith, Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, will be joining us for the evening. We hope you will join us for this memorable occasion as we wish the crews every success in the regatta ahead.

We hope to see you there!  If you have any questions, please contact the events team at events@cantab.org.
