Novice Women at Xmas Head

In Cambridge rowing tradition, the Eaglets dressed up in silly costumes for the famous Christmas Head!Need proof? Our excited Eaglets dressed as PacMan ghosts (with PacMan as their cox) were captured posing on the bank outside the boathouses waiting for their division to boat by the Cambridge Diary.

With their costumes on over approximately ten million layers, the freezing weather has all the eaglets asking Santa for more thermals and pogies in their stockings. Yet, the bright PacMan ghosts lit up the river through the snowy fog as they maintained a steady rate from the P&E through to Jesus flagpole. The 1.8km race was the longest sustained rowing many of the eaglets had done to date! With the race complete, our little Eaglets have become full-fledged Eagles!
​And, in true Eagles fashion, we ended the day at the pub celebrating our final race with the men’s side before we all parted ways for the holidays. That’s a wrap on 2023 and stay tuned to see how high these Eagles soar in 2024! (The internal rhyme in the final two sentences is my crowning achievement for the year)
