The club also won the Lester Trophy at Henley Women's Regatta in 2010.The club has the largest novice rowing squad of any Cambridge town club, with the club having the fastest men's and novice women's crews in most local races for the past few years, and holding various local records for fastest novice race times.FacilitiesThe club was the first Cambridge town rowing club to build its own boathouse on the banks of the river Cam, and it is still based at the same site, in the main row of boathouses opposite Midsummer Common. Many local CRA races are run from this clubhouse.
