Pushing the boat out

It may not be as old as the Boat Race itself (1829) but the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race New York City Dinner, first held in 1933, is the longest-running annual dinner event shared between the two universities. So you be delighted to know that this year's guest speaker is the ascetic BBC chairman Lord Patten.

Tickets, for Thursday April 10 (when we'll know which shade of blue won the non-eating event) are still available at $175 to $225, dependent on age, not wealth, and dress is black tie or boat club blazer. The venue: The University Club of New York City, just off 5th Avenue at W54th Street.
