Following my request for archive photos Roger Jackson (1970) dug out these photos of the 1971 and 1973 Lent 2nd boats.
1971 2nd Lent
1973 2nd Lent
We have no record of the training program FCBC followed in the early 70s but it clearly had a strong focus on growing facial and head hair.
The hair plan clearly worked as the 1973 2nd Lent crew got their oars, bumping Downing 3, Selwyn 2 & 1st & 3rd Trinity 3, Emmanuel 2 and Christ’s 2 to finish up 5, 14th in Division 2. Roger said “I don’t have the menu for the 1973 Lent dinner as I had been celebrating getting an oar rather too enthusiastically!”
Roger and his 1970 cohort including David Curry, Peter Howard, John Dowd and Stephen Cutler will be familiar to attendees at the Billygoats Dinner as they have attended pretty much every single dinner since going down.
