USC Alumni Club of London

One of the great London events, the Boat Race creates a festival atmosphere on the banks of the River Thames. On Race Day up to 250,000 spectators crowd the banks of the Thames from Putney to Mortlake to witness the action. 

Reset your clocks to British Summer Time and come early to enjoy the atmosphere. We’ll meet on the grassy lawn just outside of the Old Ship pub near the middle of the course. Look out for the USC banner and a few people wearing USC gear. You’ll be able to get drinks inside the pub.

Date: Sunday 29 March
Time: 2 - 5 pm (the race starts at 3:40pm BST)
Location: The Old Ship . 25 Upper Mall . Hammersmith . W6 9TD  . www.oldshipw6.com
Tube: Hammersmith, Ravenscourt Park

Boston College Game (20th Mar) - A group of us will be meeting at the Sports Cafe Friday night, the 20th, to watch the Men’s Basketball team in the first round of the tournament against Boston College. They will definitely be showing the game, but we won’t know until during the day on Friday if there will be sound. Also, there is usually a small cover charge after 9pm just so you all know. I’ll be there from 10:30pm or earlier.

Also, I have been contacted by the president of the Paris Alumni Club with details of their viewing party. If you happen to be in Paris for the game, then email me and I will pass you the details.

The club enjoyed Richard III’s London Walk including a pint at The Lady Drury. We were lucky to be joined by Erin and JP from the Alumni Association who were visiting London on holiday. After the walk, many of us capped off the night at Cafe Pacifico in Covent Garden. We have a few photos posted to our Picasa album.
