with our scullers winning events at Star Head, and W1 winning the Spring Head to Head. This all bodes very well for the depth of the squad going into the next year. It was a positive year for the men’s squad, with a number of successes off-Cam – with our M1 winning Norwich Head as well as winning our division at Nottingham City Regatta. This translated into some of our best results in the Lent and May Bumps in a decade; up two places in Lents and returning to Division 1, and a net-zero move in the Mays putting an end to our slide down the table in recent years. We had plenty of success for our lower boats too, who benefitted from plenty of racing and training this year. One of the highlights for the men’s squad this year was our Easter training camp in Henley which offered some serious fun for the crews, especially those who only started rowing this year. Over the three days away there was plenty of time for training, sunshine, and team bonding. It certainly seems to have benefitted our lower boats with our M3 going on to get blades in the May Bumps. Our M2 had a strong Lents campaign, going up three places and getting an overbump – although in Mays a first-day traffic mishap saw them fall three places. With many of our squad staying on next year, we look forward to building on our success and climbing ever higher in the Bumps Tables next year.

Development Office News The last day of July 2019 marked the formal end of the 150th JRAC Anniversary Campaign. Thank you to all of you who have contributed to our achievements, whether by donating, by volunteering or by helping us raise the profile of the College’s needs and priorities. I am delighted to announce that the Campaign closed with a total of £23M raised. The 2019 Fitzwilliam Telephone Campaign was the most successful to date, raising £281,655 over the next three years. Over the two-week campaign, callers had conversations with 567 alumni, leading to a 68% giving rate, with 91% of gifts made immediately over the phone. Thank you to everyone who participated this year! As the Bursar’s remarks (p.14) make clear, however, this simply marks the end of the first chapter in our fundraising. Alumni support is fundamental to the College’s existence, and we face significant challenges in the years ahead: long-term refurbishment of student accommodation; increasing provision for students requiring financial support; ambitious targets to broaden access to Cambridge. But the College faces these Alumni donors made possible the new construction of the MCR building – see also p.18 challenges confident in the knowledge that alumni stand with us – thank you.

The Careers Fair in November 2018 the role of the society

The Society was established in 1924. Most of the specific aims for which the Society was established (for example, to keep records of members, publish the Journal and to arrange reunions) have been delegated to the Development Office at the College. The Committee therefore reviewed the role of the Society a few years ago, to ensure that it is useful and productive for members, and to strengthen the links between alumni and students. The Careers Fair and the programme of grants for student activities (see below) resulted from this review. The Objectives and Rules of the Society New Objectives and Rules for the Society were adopted at the AGM on 24 September 2011. The objectives of the Society are now particularly focused on social and business networking and career support, as well as assisting in the development of the College. Support for Student Activities For the last five years, the Society has been making small grants to assist a variety of student activities. Brief details of the 2019 grants can be found in the reports by the Secretary and Treasurer in the Minutes of the 2019 AGM on page 96. Career Initiatives You can help students with career development by • giving careers guidance to current students at the 2020 Fitzwilliam Society Careers Fair • telling the Development Office about any work experience or internship opportunities for students at your organisation • making a gift to the Student Opportunities Fund which provides travel grants to students to help them undertake work experience placements. The Fitzwilliam Society Careers Fair takes place at the College every November. It is an opportunity for you to chat to students directly and, by letting them know more about what you do and answering their questions about your job or the industry in which you work, you can help them decide what career path they would like to follow. If you would like to attend a Careers Fair or are able to help Fitzwilliam students and alumni with their career choices, please contact Dr Millie Papworth in the Development Office on 01223 332018. We would be delighted to hear from you.

This year there was a slight overspend which helped to balance out an underspend in recent years. Judith Bunting commented that some of the scholarships seem to be very small. One of these was £110, which is not much – could it be increased? The Bursar explained that this recognizes scholarship; it is a prize, not a funding award. The Development Director added that this award probably represents an increase of £10 from the equivalent award last year. 5.
