Alec Field, who contributed this photograph from his current residence in New Zealand, recalls: "For the majority of this crew 1961 was their first season of racing, and a good introduction it was too. Being winning finalists at Hammersmith Amateur followed by Thames Dittton, then losing finalists at Reading Amateur, beating Radley College but losing to Bedford School, out of 26 entries! Thanks to our Coaches Dennis Body and Brian Shaw."
