Trinity term got off to a good start with our usual training camp which most of W1 attended. The good weather allowed six to seven water sessions a week, which consolidated all of the hard work W1 have done all year. This was especially helped with the occasional sessions from the Blues coxes Colin and Dane. Part way through the term we took part in Bedford Regatta. This gave us some great experience; we did well, but unfortunately were knocked out by Reading University in final of the novice event. W1 have worked really hard this term and this showed on the first few days of Eights. Unfortunately a second set of blades was denied by a crash on the last day due to the wind.

W2 have also had a great term and proved that they were one of the strongest second boats on the river. The first three days in Eights they managed to bump well before Donny' Bridge, but were denied blades by the two crews in front of them bumping out on the last day. However they still put in a good fight closing on the next crew to a boat length despite the huge gap.

This term the Catz women, managed to get a third, 'cocktail', boat together. Despite being unable to qualify for eights they put in loads of effort and had great fun whilst rowing.

I am very proud of all the girls who have rowed at Catz this term and owe them all massive thanks for making my captaincy a great experience. I am also sure that many of these girls will continue to do great things for rowing at Catz next year.

The women's 2nd Eight after bumping on the Friday

The term started with the successes of Torpids fresh in the minds of the crews, and training began immediately after the Easter break. A varied mix of land-based and on the water training sessions ensured that the men's 1st and 2nd VIIIs were able to build upon the work that had been put in over the past two terms, and the crews strength and technical abilities improved rapidly. M1 was fortunate to be joined by three University rowers: Jan Herzog, Martin Walsh and Anthony Mullin; and squad cox, Dane van den Akker. This line-up gave M1 a huge boost, and the presence of these rowers enabled everyone in the crew to perform their best. M2 was also joined by two Blues coxes, Nick Brodie and Colin Groshong, who rowed.

The men's 2nd Eight being hard-pressed by St Antony's on Wednesday - they escaped and ended up rowing over all four days

In what has been a very successful year for SCCBC, it is with great pride that I hand over the position of captain to Toby Smyth, who I am sure will carry on the successes we have achieved. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity, and would like to thank all the crews, coaches and support that have helped me over the past year. I wish Toby, Catherine Wherity, and the rest of the SCCBC committee the best of luck for the upcoming year.

A Benjamin F. Sylvester, Jr medal will be given annually to the member of the Boat Club who has most significantly contributed to enhancing the rowing life of St Catherine's College, Oxford.

Those who nominated James for the award have said of him: 'He has not only done an outstanding job as treasurer but has coached, subbed and on one occasion even tried to cox for any crew who has needed help', that he has 'shown commitment above and beyond his role on the committee' and has been 'helping out wherever it was needed. A constant face throughout the 3 terms'. And I know of several alumni would probably also want to add their thanks for organising this year's kit order.
