12 April 2025 News Abingdon After a block fixture against Radley on 1 March, the rowers, parents and coaches gathered in the Pavilion for the annual Boat Club dinner. This year, we were privileged to welcome back former Captain of Boats, Head of School and, recent Paris Olympic Gold Champion in the Men’s 8+, OA Tom Digby as our guest speaker. Tom shared his journey from a not very sporty 13 year old to Olympic champion and all the lessons he learned along the way. Truly inspiring for our current rowers and a huge thank you to Tom for all the time he spent chatting to our students throughout the evening. Another fantastic event and many thanks to the FASBC for all the hard work in putting it together.
