Il existe une mention dans le Tolkien Family Album (avec une belle photo d'aviron) :
[citation=Tolkien Family Album, p. 77]J.R.R.T. took a great interest in the annual Boat Races - Eights Week - which were held with great pageantry towards the end of May. (Priscilla remembers as a child the excitement of seeing all the flags flying on the way down the Broad Walk through Christ Church Meadows to the river, and its decorated barges crowded with expectant spectators craning their necks to see the boats with their different coloured oars coming up the river.)[/citation]
