The May Board

The May Board is a term that is used by College rowers at Cambridge University. Each year in the University's Easter term, the rowers who achieve May colours (that is, row in their College's first boat in the May Bumps) have their names printed on a board called the May Board. This board hangs in the boat club's meeting room, known as the May Room.

There are May Boards for both men's and women's crews. There are also some statistics on Churchill's most prolific May Boat rowers.
