Cambridge University Lightweight Rowing Club
(CULRC) is the University rowing club for
lightweight male oarsmen at the University
of Cambridge.
In past years it has fielded two crews to
race against Oxford University Lightweight
Rowing Club (OULRC) in the Henley Boat Races:
the lightweight Blue Boat and Granta, the
lightweight reserve crew.
CULRC has raced OULRC, its Oxford counterpart,
since 1975.
The reserve boat, Granta, first raced Nephthys
in 2000, although the club decided not to
field a Granta crew since 2007.
For a brief period in 1999 - 2002 there was
an active old boys club "Farmer" whose finest
race was beating the 1999 Nephthys crew by
2L.
== Past Crews ==
This is a partial list of CULRC crews who
have raced the men's lightweight boat race
against Oxford
== Reserve crews (Granta) ==
This is a partial list of CULRC Granta crews
who have been reserves, spares or participants
in the CULRC Squads.
== Club Officers ==
Members of CULRC in statu pupulari elect a
President from those who have raced a boat
race, or from the wider club if no one is
forthcoming.
The President may then appoint Vice Presidents,
who help with the day-to-day running of the
club.
CULRC has typically not appointed formal junior
treasurers, kit officers or alumni officers.
Instead these roles are shared amongst the
officers.
An Honorary Secretary is also elected.
The Honorary Secretary is more removed from
the day-to-day running and is expected to
take minutes at meetings and to maintain email
lists.
They also represent CULRC at meetings of CUCBC,
although the president may delegate to someone
else to do this.
They may be a former member in statu pupulari
who is not trialing that year.
