City of Cambridge Rowing Club
City of Cambridge Rowing Club (CCRC) is the oldest 'town' (or CRA) rowing and sculling club in Cambridge, UK, and with about 300 members, it has one of the largest active rowing memberships in the region. The club's colours are dark blue, with a band of claret sandwiched between two bands of 'old gold'.
Second to Rob Roy Boat Club in terms of overall success, the club has one of the most successful historic records in town rowing as the only club to hold the men's headship for ten successive years (between 1951 and 1961), and its recent record includes winning the John Jenner trophy as the most successful club in Town Bumps for four successive years (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010), with its women having reached "Head of the River" in 2008. The club also won the Lester Trophy (for Intermediate Club Coxed Fours) at Henley Women's Regatta in 2010. The club has yet to achieve success above this level, however aspires to do so.
The club has squads for all ages and abilities, including juniors, men, women, masters and novices.
The club was the first Cambridge town rowing club to build its own boathouse on the banks of the River Cam, and it is still based at the same site, in the main row of boathouses opposite Midsummer Common. Many local CRA races are run from this clubhouse. In July 2019, the club opened a new 3 storey boathouse, giving it the newest town club boathouse on the river Cam. The new boat house has a large boat bay on the ground floor, club room and changing rooms on the first floor and gym on the top floor.
The club has a large fleet of racing shells and training boats, with a mixture of 8's, 4+/-/x and small boats. The club's boats have ARA alphanumeric registration codes starting with the letters "CAM" followed by three digits.
The club competes all year round at local CRA races on the River Cam, at regional regattas and head races such as those at Peterborough, Bedford and Norwich, and at major national events including Men's and Women's Tideway Head of the River Races, Henley Women's Regatta, Henley Royal Regatta and the National Championships. Club crews also occasionally compete at international events such as the Head of the Charles, the Galway Head and FISA Masters.
The biggest race in the local calendar is the CRA Bumps (or "town bumps") in which almost all club members participate. In 2008, the women's squad reached first position ("Head") in this race.
The club hosts and runs several local rowing races on the River Cam, including the CRA Winter League (a "league" event run over the Cam Head Course over three successive months), the Head 2 Head races (where the standard Head Course is rowed twice in quick succession; first downstream and then, minutes later, in the more usual upstream direction) in spring and winter, the CCRC Sprint Regatta (a short ~400 m side-by-side sprint regatta outside the boathouses along Midsummer Common) and the Christmas Head (an upstream race past most of the boathouses).
