Apologies for the long absence – exams rather got the better of us recently, but we’re all done now! So with less than two weeks to go, it’s full steam ahead on preparations. We’re sorting out a tent contraption of some sort for the punt to stop us getting soaked by the English summer weather. [...]

Samantha Dalton’s piece about us was broadcast this morning the Jeremy Sallis breakfast show on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire. It’s about 26 minutes into the show. If you’re quick you can listen again until the 6th May. We listened to it while floating on the calm waters beside Grantchester Meadows this morning, and a family of [...]

We’ve just had a quick cruise up and down the Backs with a totally charming lady from the Radio Cambridgeshire breakfast show. It was much more relaxed than the filming yesterday – not having to avoid looking at an enormous camera helped with that. She also had a go at recording a piece for the [...]

Toby was doing the punting – with the camera there, [...]

The Telegraph’s website has run a story about us. Not sure if it made it into the actual paper though. Strange choice of photo, as well – perhaps we should take a few press shots of us all done up in white tie? At least they mentioned how to donate…

There’ve been a couple of articles in the papers about us now; the Cambridge Tab was first off the mark, but the Cambridge News win super-keen points for sending a photographer down to make us look heroic in yesterday’s paper (22/04/10). Unfortunately they lose their points again for not putting our article online yet, and [...]
Looking the part

We had a date with a photographer from the Cambridge News today, so it was about time to get ourselves some proper headgear. Ryder & Amies, the University outfitters do a nice line in straw boaters, of which we are now four proud owners. The sun shone, and we hung around under the Bridge of [...]
