Oxford & Cambridge Boat Race Dinner 2009, San Francisco April 14, 2009

---

The 74th San Francisco Boat Race dinner celebrates the 155th Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race. It promises to be a fine affair in the elegant ambience of the University Club atop Nob Hill in the heart of San Francisco. The University Club is located at Powell and California Streets, adjacent to the Fairmont Hotel.

This year's distinguished guest speaker is oceanic rower Roz Savage(University College, Oxford). In 2005 she rowed alone 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean. Now she intends to become the first woman to row solo across the Pacific. In 2008 she completed Stage 1, becoming the first woman ever to row solo from California to Hawaii. Stage 2 launches in May 2009. Roz worked for 11 years as a management consultant before trading in her London career for a life on the ocean, seeking personal fulfillment through voyages of exploration. She is using her endeavour to raise awareness of the environmental crisis facing the world's oceans.

Co-chairs are Dennis Bonney (Hertford, Oxford) and Peter Robinson (Fitzwilliam, Cambridge).

Cocktails are at 5:30 pm and dinner will be served at 7:15 pm. The Boat Race video will be played before dinner at 6:15 pm and again after dinner.
