The 2003 Bumps party had a transatlantic theme. It was mainly
organised (if that's the right word) from California. The theme was picked out from
the 1906 painting of the bumps, Time for
Tea, by Percy Robert Craft, which contains both a Stars and Stripes and
a Union Jack. We're still not sure what a US flag, pre-WWI, was doing on a rowing
boat on the Cam in 1906...
A great day of racing, with Caius staying Head of the mens and Newnham
making a great leap from fourth to go Head of the womens. For those interested in
tall the rest of the boat racing results (no, there are a few!) the final results of all
the Bumps races are on:
And many thanks to the US contingent in Cambridge, J.J., Kelly Menozzi
and friends, who helped organise and make the party fun...
A fine array of hats (the finest ever)...
And here is the rogues gallery...
