I can't believe this isn't a better article, where's all the history? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.243.37 (talk) 11:26, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Directly appointed representative
I think the right to appoint a representative to the British Rowing council was abolished at the last BR AGM. Can somebody check this?Gingekerr (talk) 01:14, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

University Boat Club
Cambridge University Boat Club isn't the "the rowing club of the University of Cambridge, England", it is a closed club, only open to men, and distinct from the two other University rowing clubs -- CUWBC Cambridge University Women's Boat Club and Cambridge University Lightweight Rowing Club, the introduction should (and has been prior to an unexplained revert) edited to reflect this. 82.8.62.16 (talk) 13:11, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

That is completely incorrect. Unlike men's international rowing (eg the Olympics) there is no requirement for any of the Cambridge University Boat Club crews to be men. Women can and have represented CUBC and Goldie in the past. So far this has only been as coxes, but there is absolutely nothing in the rules that would stop a woman from rowing in the boat. The women's 2,000m world record on a concept 2 is 6:25, roughly the same level as some of the Goldie crew when they have previously entered public "erg" competitions, so this could be possible, though it is an unlikely career step for a top women's rower. It is also not a 'closed club', and all matriculated members of Cambridge University who are resident for degree level courses are eligible to trial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.0.146.113 (talk) 18:11, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
