Mathilde Pauls, who stroked this year’s Blue Boat, won a bronze medal at the Eton World Cup yesterday in the lightweight single scull for Germany.

Also in action were the following CUW old girls:

• Jo Hammond (Lightweight 2001) - 2nd in B final of LW 2x
• Annie Vernon (Blue Boat 2003) - 4th in HW 2x
• Sarah Winckless (Blue Boat 1996-1997 (president 1997)) - Gold in HW 4x

The Cambridge University Women’s Boat Club (CUWBC) is looking for people to trial in the next academic year in order to row in, and win, the Henley Boat Races against Oxford in March 2006.

If you enjoy rowing or coxing, are enthusiastic and willing to train hard to improve and would like to represent the University in a major sport, then you have already met the initial criteria for trialling.

Trialling begins in the second half of September 2005 and in order to race you must be in statu pupillari in March 2006. Before trialling, CUWBC runs a development squad for a month in the summer. Details and an application form are now available.

The CUWBC are delighted to introduce the 2005-6 Committee.
