Going through old paperwork, this morning I found a booklet published by the Cambridgeshire Rowing Association - for the Bumping Races held over four days, 28, 29, 30, 31 July 1964.
My dad rowed in these races and had kept his programme. Inside there was an outline printed drawing of a boat and crew - and alongside that the names of each rower had been added.
Inside the programme was a full list of all the teams who were to row - and all the members of those teams.
Dad was rowing for Pye II, in the Third Division. The team colours were given as Light Blue, Dark Blue, Old Gold.
The race started at 6.45pm and the Pye II team were:
- Bow: WHM Gough
- 2: EJ Wills
- 3: P Matthews
- 4: BD Cox
- 5: G Wehbeh
- 6: J Plautus
- 7: M Allen
- Stroke: CF Hibbs*
- Cox: J Railton
- Coach: ELD Goodwin
I wonder if anybody had a photo of the team that year - all I've got is their names scribbled in the programme.
*Dad.
