Selwyn’s rowers are in the final stages of preparation for Cambridge’s Lent Bumps: the first big event of 2016 on the river. The College Boat Club is profiling some of the athletes who are taking part, and our photograph on the homepage and below shows Nigel Coburn. He’s a graduate student working for the European Space Agency on Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS devices) for use in space satellites. You can read more about his work, and about why he decided to take up rowing at University, on the Boat Club’s website here: https://selwynrowing.wordpress.com/2016/02/10/athletes-of-scbc-nigel-coburn/
Also profiled is Eleanor Salter (below) from the women’s crew: https://selwynrowing.wordpress.com/2016/01/27/women-of-scbc-eleanor-salter-se-2015-2/
There’s a full guide to the Lent Bumps on the University Boat Club website http://www.cucbc.org/lents.
