Queens' College Boat Club
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Queens' College Boat Club is the rowing club for members of Queens' College, Cambridge. In the men's Lent Bumps, the Queens' 1st VIII largely remained in the 2nd division until about 1910, when they moved up into the 1st division. With only occasional years where the 1st VIII dropped into the 2nd division, the club eventually rose to take the headship in 1968, but lost it the following year (dropping four places) and declined into the 2nd division by 1980. Since then, the form has been somewhat erratic, rising to 3rd in 1995 before plummeting into the 2nd division again by 2000. Queens' ended a good run of form in 2007, having risen back into the mid-1st division, they crashed down four places and were awarded spoons. The performance in the May Bumps is similar, moving from the 2nd to the 1st division in the 1910s, rising to take the headship by 1962 which it kept in 1963. The headship belonged to Queens' again in 1968. The 1st VIII then dropped into the 2nd division by the mid-1970s and, similar to the Lent Bumps, they managed to climb as high as 4th in 1997, but dropped sharply for a few years after. The current positions of the men's 1st VIII are 8th in the Lent Bumps and 4th in the May Bumps. The Queens' 1st women first appeared in 1981, and rose as high as 2nd in the Lent Bumps and 4th in the May Bumps, but have yet to take a headship in either event. The 1st women's VIII currently reside near the bottom of the 1st division in the Lent Bumps and May Bumps.
