The club has members at all levels, from national squad through seniors and veterans to juniors and novices. The club colours are Royal Irish Maroon and White. Rob Roy is a member of the Cambridgeshire Rowing Association. HistoryThe club was founded in 1880, making it one of the older clubs in Cambridge. On 5 June 1880 an item appeared in the Cambridge Chronicle as follows: {{quotebox|"A new boat club has been started by the Church Temperance Society of Cambridge and Chesterton under the name of 'Rob Roy' and it will be open to members of the various branches.The following officers have been elected for the present season: The Rev. J. Martin, president; Captain P. Going, vice president; the Rev. G.H. Ling (Corpus), treasurer: Mr Percy Talbot, secretary; Mr C.V. Key, first captain; Mr J.W. Chandler, second captain; and the Rev. A.E. Meredith, Messrs. R. Meddings, W. Stearn, E. Tredgett, H. Gautrey, J.R. Newman and S. Clayton, committee. Strict temperance is to be enforced to liquors and language. Pair-oared and four-oared races have been arranged and an eight is to be entered for the Town Races."}} Strict temperance is no longer enforced to either language or liquors.{{Citation needed|date=October 2013}} RacingClub members compete at head races and regattas ranging from local events on the River Cam, through to the major national events such as Henley Royal Regatta and the National Rowing Championships, to the World Cup Regattas and World Championships. The club also competes in the Cambridge Town Bumps, which provides an enjoyable end to the summer regatta season. The first men's crew held the Headship from 1998 to 2006. EventsRob Roy organises the Cambridge Small Boats Head which is held in early October each year (for coxed and coxless pairs, and single and double sculls), and the Cambridge Autumn Head which is held in Mid October each year (for coxed and coxless fours and quads, and eights).
