Please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved. (March 2010) Caius Boat Club (C.B.C.) (Caius is pronounced 'keys') is the boat club for members of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. During the decade from 1998 to 2007, the club had extraordinary success, particularly in the intercollegiate bumps races which are held in eight-oared boats (VIIIs). Until the Lent Bumps 2007 the Caius 1st men's VIII had held the headship of both the Lent Bumps and the May Bumps for several years, but they now lie 3rd place in the May Bumps and have reclaimed headship in the Lent Bumps. The 1st women's VIII lie in 7th place in the Lent Bumps and 3rd in the May Bumps, with the 2nd men's and women's VIIIs lying in the 2nd division in both sets of races. The dominance of C.B.C. on the River Cam from the May Bumps 1998 until the May Bumps 2007 is striking. Of the 36 Headships awarded during this period (no headships were awarded for the Lent Bumps 2001), 3 colleges stood in equal 7th place with 1 each (Clare, Newnham and Trinity Hall); Downing, Jesus and Pembroke were 4th with 2; 1st & 3rd Trinity was 3rd with 3; Emmanuel was 2nd with 5. Caius was the most successful with 19, with a large majority of 15 of these from the men. Caius' run of 5 consecutive Lent headships is the 5th longest continuous spell at the top in the Lents (19 days at the top). Prior to 1998, however, and Caius held only 4 headships in the entire history of Bumps racing in Cambridge; 1840, 1841, 1844 and in the men's May Bumps of 1987. It is also of note that during the May bumps of 1998, the top 3 men's crews, and the top 3 women's crews all secured the awarding of "Blades" by bumping up on all available opportunities - the men's first VIII finished Head of the River. The Mens first VIII earned blades once more in 2011, finishing Head of the River by bumping Downing on the final day. There also exists a club for members who have left the college called Gonville Boat Club. Although GBC is primarily a recreational club, it occasionally enters regattas, and sometimes races the current CBC 1st men's VIII. The last GBC crew to take to the water (2008) had a total of 28 Cambridge headships between them. Contents 1 Clocktower 2 References 3 Other references 4 External links Clocktower With its headship in the men's 2006 Lent bumps, Caius joined an elite group of clubs finishing head in 5 consecutive years (subsequently matched in the men's 2006 May bumps). While it is a widely-held view that this entitles Caius to build a clocktower[1], there is no historical evidence linking such constructions with success on the river. Marks, Gilbert and Durack, in their definitive history of the Bumps[2], categorically state that such performance-related building of clocktowers is a myth. It is certainly the case that LMBC added a weathervane to its boathouse when it was redeveloped in 1979, although whether this was directly attributable to the run of 5 headships in the Mays up to 1951 is moot. According to the CBC website[3] (as at July 2006): "The Club has not forgotten the small matter of the Clocktower. Plans are currently being drawn up for the College Council's approval, always with an eye to what is likely to be accepted by the local planning authorities." It remains to be seen whether, by adding some form of horological edifice to its boathouse, Caius effects the metastasis of myth into tradition.
