Tea by the Thames

Come and join the Boat Club for tea by the Thames.

We’d like to invite the Friends of the University, alumni, staff and any other supporters of rowing at Reading University to join us to watch the afternoon division of the RU Head of the River, and enjoy tea and cake provided by our student rowers.

We host this event at Reading Canoe club, which has fantastic views of the final stages of the Head of the River, and provides the comfort of being in the warm and dry.

If you would like to join us there is no need to book, please just turn up to cheer on the crews and enjoy the afternoon speaking to some current rowers, and meeting fellow RUBC supporters.
