We are taking part against other BCG teams in a Dragon Boat Race in London in memory of a former colleague, Acer Nethercott who tragically died this year at the age of 35 from brain cancer. 

Acer was from Essex and coxed the British men's eight to Olympic silver in Beijing in 2008. He helped Oxford to two Boat Race wins but controversially lost to Cambridge in 2004 after a clash of blades.

Nethercott was in contention to cox the men's eight for London 2012, before the role was given to Phelan Hill.

Nethercott coxed Oxford to Boat Race victories in 2003 and in 2005.   He then coxed the British men's eight for the next three years, winning bronze at the 2007 World Rowing Championships.
