There’s plenty of beer being chugged and spinning on the lawns by the university lake these days. With one month to go until the 36th edition of the Regatta on 24 April. Here we’ll also find out which student social association comes out on top in the 2026 Regatta and takes home the iconic Golden Bedpan trophy.
