Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race
23 year old Dave Whiffin who has lived in Chearsley all his life, took part in this year’s Boat race on Saturday March 26th when he was a member of the winning Oxford Isis boat, beating the Cambridge Goldie squad very convincingly.
Dave, an ex Aylesbury Grammar school boy is in his final year at New College Oxford, reading engineering, where he took up rowing as a complete novice. He became president of his college boat club and last year was selected for the Oxford Rowing Squad. Dave’s ambition is to be in the first boat in next year’s Boat Race. Well done to him and good luck for next year.
