CAMBRIDGE ROWING ASSOCIATION TOWN BUMPS RACING
A fundraising evening for
The Furniture Makers’ Charity and The Andrew Johnson Rowing Foundation
TUESDAY 22 JULY 2025
5.30pm – 8.45pm
Ostlers Holt, Fen Ditton, Cambridge
The Cambridge Rowing Association have kindly given permission for us to watch the racing from their designated enclosure at Ostlers Holt, known as “First Post Corner”, on the second evening, Tuesday 22 July 2025. From this vantage point we can expect to see plenty of exciting racing. Be advised, Henley this is not! Ostlers Holt is normally a grazing field, which the CRA rent as a viewing point for Bumps week. They have kindly agreed to allow us use of their private enclosure within Ostlers Holt to host a BBQ, and hopefully raise funds for both the Furniture Makers’ Charity and The Andrew Johnson Rowing Foundation.
The Master will unashamedly be cheering on the Cantabrigian Rowing Club with which she, her late husband Andrew, her consort Katy, and other members of her family have had a long connection. Along with others from the rowing community, the Master and Consort will be on hand to explain what is happening!

£40.00 per person plus VAT (£48.00). The ticket price includes reception drinks followed a BBQ served by Sebastian at Cantab Catering, who will also be running a cash bar (card machine available) where beers, coke and other soft drinks can be purchased. The ticket price includes a donation to be shared between the two charities.
