60 years on – `Sweaty Bettys and Perspiring Persephones’ – Recollections from CUWBC’s Averil Wootton (1965-66) and Valerie Goldsbrough (1962-64)

CUBC is grateful to Averil Wootton Naysmith (Newnham, CUWBC 2nd IV 1965, 2nd VIII 1966 Captain) for providing recollections in honour of her 60th anniversary. And we are delighted to reshare recollections from Valerie Goldsbrough Holding (New Hall, Women’s Blue Boat 1962-64, President 1961-63) originally collected by Jane Kingsbury in the early 00s. The Club extends its thanks to Jane for her tireless effort in documenting the history of women’s rowing at Cambridge.
