New Hall Boat Club
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Hall Boat Club is the rowing club for members of New Hall College, Cambridge. New Hall is a college for women only. New Hall's early progress was good, taking the headship of the Lent Bumps in 1976, 1978 and 1980. A run of poorer results saw the 1st VIII drop into the 2nd division for the first ever time in 2007. In the May Bumps, initial performance was good, taking the headship in 1977, 1981 and 1984 in the four-oared races, but in 1990, when the start order was re-organised, the New Hall 1st VIII were placed at the bottom of the 1st division and dropped into the 2nd division in 1992. By 1996, New Hall had climbed as high as 10th, but found itself in the 2nd division again by the end of 1998. Once again, the New Hall 1st VIII climbed to 10th by 2002, but fell into the 2nd division once again in 2006.
