2024 Boat Race Dinner Information
The 2024 Boat Race Dinner will be held at the Royal Lancaster after the Gemini Boat Races on Saturday 30th March, 2024. The dinner is the perfect setting in which to welcome and to celebrate those who have just earned life membership to CUBC through their racing in the Boat Race & the Lightweight Boat Races.
This year’s dinner builds upon the 2023 Dinner, which was the second event for the unified club and saw over 380 members and supporters join to celebrate the Club and its newest members.
The dress code for the dinner is black-tie/cocktail or evening dresses, with full-colours dress reserved for the Boat Race 2024 crews. Life members are encouraged to wear either the bow tie (men) or the lapel bow (women) that best indicates their Boat Race representation. Women life members will be offered their relevant lapel bow when they arrive at the dinner.
The ticket price includes a 3-course meal and half a bottle of wine per person. A cash (card-based) bar will also be available and this will operate until 1:00am, after which members and guests are invited to the CUBC Boat Race After Party. The ticket price is £125 per person. A £3.49 Eventbrite fee and £25.70 VAT will be added to each ticket as you check out.
Members organising a crew reunion are requested to use the event link to notify the organising committee of their year to facilitate their crew being seated together. The seating plan for the dinner will be on display at arrival, and members of the 2024 crews will be seated at each table.
Ticket prices for students are subsidised from attendees' ticket revenue, but contributions towards further support of the Club are welcome and may be made through this site.
Members are advised to book places at the dinner early; prices will rise by £20 on 4th March 2024 to accommodate last minute fees associated with the venue.
