The club's boats have ARA alphanumeric registration codes starting with the letters "CAM" followed by three digits.

The club competes all year round at local CRA races on the River Cam, at regional regattas and head races such as those at Peterborough, Bedford and Norwich, and at major national events including Men's and Women's Tideway Head of the River Races, Henley Women's Regatta, Henley Royal Regatta[6] and the National Championships.

The Cambridge Daily News reported that R. Evans of St Neots was disqualified for knocking M. Clay of Nottingham and Union into the river during their singles race.

Clay appeared to collect the trophy 'soaked to the skin, his hair on end and in bare feet'.

In 1949 the 1st boat won their blades[clarification needed] and in 1951 they were head of the river for the first time since the headship was lost in the 1870s.
