City of Cambridge Rowing Club (CCRC) is the oldest[1] 'town' (or CRA) rowing and sculling club in Cambridge, UK, and with about 300 members, it has one of the largest active rowing memberships in the region. The club's colours are dark blue, with a band of claret sandwiched between two bands of 'old gold'.
The club has one of the most successful historic records in town rowing as the only club to hold the men's headship for ten successive years[2] (between 1951 and 1961), and its recent record includes winning the John Jenner trophy as the most successful club in Town Bumps for four successive years (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010), with its women having reached "Head of the River" in 2008. The club also won the Lester Trophy (for Intermediate Club Coxed Fours) at Henley Women's Regatta in 2010.[3]
The club has squads for all ages and abilities, including juniors, men, women, masters and novices.[4]
