Notable members

Cambridge University Lightweight Rowing Club (CULRC) is the University rowing club for lightweight male oarsmen at the University of Cambridge. In past years it has fielded two crews to race against Oxford University Lightweight Rowing Club (OULRC) in the Henley Boat Races: the lightweight Blue Boat and Granta, the lightweight reserve crew.

CULRC has raced OULRC, its Oxford counterpart, since 1975. The reserve boat, Granta, first raced Nephthys in 2000, although the club decided not to field a Granta crew since 2007.

For a brief period in 1999 - 2002 there was an active old boys club "Farmer" whose finest race was beating the 1999 Nephthys crew by 2L.

Club Officers

Members of CULRC in statu pupulari elect a President from those who have raced a boat race, or from the wider club if no one is forthcoming. The President may then appoint Vice Presidents, who help with the day to day running of the club. CULRC has typically not appointed formal junior treasurers, kit officers or alumni officers. Instead these roles are shared amongst the officers. An Honorary Secretary is also elected. The Honorary Secretary is more removed from the day to day running and is expected to take minutes at meetings and to maintain email lists. They also represent CULRC at meetings of CUCBC, although the president may delegate to someone else to do this. They may be a former member in statu pupulari who is not trialing that year.

CULRC HeadCoaches: Before the employment of John Thickness, coaching at CULRC was voluntary. The club now employs a full time head coach, supported by assistant coaches.
