By kind permission of the Rowing Section of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, the Oxbridge Annual Rowing Regatta will be held at Middle Island, Deepwater Bay from 10:30am on Saturday 20 April 2024.

This is a very popular family event and guests and children are most welcome to attend and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of this unique location. The rowing races will commence at 11:30am sharp with crews representing Oxford, Cambridge, combined alumni and Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club.

Some experience of rowing and/or coxing is required but crews will be of mixed ability and fitness. Individual or crew entries are welcome – please register your interest in advance so we can start assembling crews before the day. Participants are encouraged to wear their varsity colours and enter into friendly rivalry.

Experienced rowers will have the opportunity to race in Hong Kong’s own “Boat Race” or in a Goldie/Isis boat, but the mood of the day is light-hearted and there will be plenty of opportunity to have a fun row and enjoy the spirit of representing one’s alma mater.

Prizes will be awarded, subject to final entries, on the beautiful lawn of the Clubhouse, followed by a family buffet. A selection of hot and cold meat/fish/vegetarian dishes, soup, desserts, tea/coffee will be served. End the day by watching the sun set over Deepwater Bay over a glass of wine after a sumptuous buffet. You won’t regret it!

Sign up below as a spectator at the buffet, or if you are interested in rowing, email us at administrator’s email (society@oxbridge.org.hk) to indicate your personal information, experience levels and which university you would like to row for.
