Meet Women's Captain Kevin Glasgow: "I am just finishing my masters and about to start a PhD in education. I have coxed with the women for 2 years now and absolutely love it, I’ve also rowed and each time say ‘I am going to row this term’ but somehow I never do ...
Meet Beth Morris, secretary: "I'm going into my 4th year of medicine and over the last 3 years I've both rowed and coxed. I'm hoping that my ability as a cox to get at least 7 people doing the right thing at the right time will transfer to keeping the committee running smoothly"
Next meet Lucy Cole, 1/3 of the Women's LBCs: "Hi, I'm Lucy, one of the Women's Lower Boats Captains for this year. I'm a 2nd year bionatsci and devout stroke side. I can't wait to build up the women's novice squad and get everyone as excited about sculling as me!"

For the @cambridge_uni#VirtualOpenDay tomorrow, our instagram (@/homertoncollegeboatclub) will be taken over by Men’s Capt. Lucy, Women’s LBC Alice & Secretary Beth. This is your chance to ask questions about rowing at a Cambridge college – keep them busy with your questions!
Next up is Jake Armstrong, Junior Treasurer: "My name's Jake, I'm a 2nd year NatSci and typically a bowsider. As Treasurer, my objective is to make certain that the funds are available to allow HCBC to continue on its upwards trajectory"
Meet Rory Gordon, 1/3 Men's of the LBCs: "I'm a 4th year engineer who started on bowside, but switched to strokeside this year. I started rowing late in 2nd year, so my first race was Mays - quite an introduction! Promise I'm enjoying myself here, even if it doesn't look like it"
