It is a sporting oddity, but we Brits like a tradition. I am sure a lot of money goes into the event with things like sponsorship. My dad has been a rower and I tried it for a while, so I have seen a few races. It is a tough sport and not just for 'toffs'.

Hi Steve, yes it is a sporting oddity in so many ways including where only two teams are ever allowed to play 😂😂👍
It is great fun to watch but it has become a bit of an excuse for binge drinking by Yahoo's of all ranks...not just the toffs anymore.
The rowing club does do a bit of outreach to the oikes of the realm which is nice and yes it is sponsered up to the hilt.
