Lots of compliments from Billygoats about the dinner:
- by far the best and most enjoyable Billygoats Dinner that I can remember
- really inspiring to see so many male and female members of the Boat Club enjoying the occasion so enthusiastically… a terrific feeling of positivity and camaraderie
- thought the students were lovely and friendly this year and the meal much better!!
- such a good Billygoats Dinner
- It was particularly gratifying to have an abbreviated run down of the current crews and their progress rather than the usual protracted “Love in”.
The prosecco did not seem to run out, the wine was on the table so there was no long delay refilling glasses and the food was very good (my wife particularly enjoyed the fish). The speeches were short and to the point and the atmosphere was very positive and friendly.
President David Wright awarded crockpots to two crews – the University IVs crews M1 4+ and W1 4+, both of whom reached the semi-finals.
Half of M1 4+ were skiing, which was handy as we were short of 1 crockpot!
The previous day saw a spirited President’s VIII race in the Fairbairns, including a President, two ex-Presidents and an ex-Secretary.
