Captain Shallcross explained that he had attended a Captains' meeting at which an amalgamation of Boat Clubs was decided on. St Catherine's go with Jesus. The two clubs have been put in group two - training omitted on Tuesdays and Thursdays owing to Officer Training Corps training. No Torpids or Eights this year but racing in two groups in the sixth week of the term.

St Catherine's was one of the few boat clubs which generally managed to put out complete crews on its own.
