LONDON ROWING CLUB Newsletter LONDON ROWING CLUB Newsletter June 2011 Happy Birthday! Members will have noted that our Patron attained a notable milestone lately in reaching his 90th Birthday. Set out below is the full text of the congratulatory letter sent to Buckingham Palace by Hon. Secretary Chris Whyte On behalf of the President and Members of London Rowing Club, I write to offer Your Royal Highness our sincere congratulations on your 90 th birthday and to wish you many happy returns of the day. Your Royal Highness’s long standing patronage of London Rowing Club is greatl y appreciated by the membership and your visit to the Club in 2006, as part of our 150 th “Anniversary celebrations, is warmly remembered. I am pleased to report that the Club is performing strongly at both club and interna - tional level. Last November, for the first time in over 50 years, the Scullers’ Head of the River Race was won by a London member, Mr Stephen Feeney, whilst at the Head of the River Race in March the Club retained the Vernon Trophy. Mr Rob Williams is currently World Champion in the Lightweight Coxless Four and took a bronze medal for Great Britain in the same event at the first round of the World Cup, two weeks ago. Also at the World Cup, Miss Sophie Hosking won a gold medal as part of the Women’s Lightweight Double which is coached by London member Mr Paul Reedy. The Club has other members participating in the national squad and has also won several events at domestic regattas. These wins include, most recently, Elite Coxed Fours at last weekend’s Metropolitan Regatta – the Club’s ‘home’ regatta. The Club is now looking forward to the remaining rounds of the World Cup, to Henley Royal Regatta, the World Championships and, of course, next year’s London Olympics. In wishing Your Royal Highness a v“ ery happy birthday the Club would also like to take this opportunity to thank Your Royal Highness for your continued interest and support. I have the honour to remain, Sir, Your Royal Highness’s most humble and obedient Servant Chris Whyte Honorary Secretary HENLEY ROYAL REGATTA Our traditional rundown on LRC’s crews entered for Henley Royal Regatta appears on the centre pages 4 and 5. 1 With a number of the larger boats failing to impress, Racing results (apart from the Bell, Gilfillan, Grant, Thomas, Jackson 4+ which won IM1 4+ with something to spare) it was down to numerous pairs, doubles and singles to win the (ever-so- desirable) ceramic pots.

There were strong winds at the Met, but their direction was almost perpendicular to the course.

  • Overview Mortlake Rowing Club Is the Oldest Component Part If The
    Overview Mortlake Rowing Club is the oldest component part if the present-day MAABC. It was established in 1877. Next came Anglian Boat Club, which started in 1878. It merged with Mortlake Rowing Club in 1962 to become Mortlake Anglian Boat Club. Chiswick Rowing Club was the result of the amalgamation of two local clubs, Bedford Park and Bedford Park & District and later merged with Mortlake Anglian Boat Club to become Mortlake Anglian & Chiswick Boat Club. Alpha Women's Rowing Club formed in 1927 and was to merge with Mortlake Anglian & Chiswick Boat Club in 1984, since when we have been: Mortlake Anglian & Alpha Boat Club. The Origins of Mortlake Institute Rowing Club Based on contributions from Mike Williamson, Les Rule (in his late 80s and who joined the club in 1936) and Gordon Hilliker in May, 2003. Unfortunately the official documents dealing with the club history have long since been mislaid, so we will have to rely on our recollections and hearsay. The club was founded in 1877 as Mortlake Institute Rowing Club boating from a shed along side “The Ship” public house. In the early 1900s plans were developed for building the stone river embankment between Watney Brewery and Kew. We presume that the councils of Richmond and Mortlake decided that as all the rowing clubs on the Surrey side of the river were based at Putney they should have one between the two towns. The site chosen was a strip of land between the river and the crematorium, steps were incorporated in the new embankment for easy access to the river and two 1914- 18 army huts were acquired, one for boats the other as a clubhouse and changing room just behind the steps.

    Draft set.pdf 1 04/11/2015 14:14 Frederick Kelly, 1881-1916 Frederick Kelly – the rower While he never rowed competitively for Marlow, Frederick Septimus Kelly is probably the most famous of the rowers commemorated on the Club’s war memorial. Frederick was born in Sydney, Australia in 1881 and was educated at Eton and then Balliol College, Oxford. Frederick’s rst success as a rower was when he stroked the Eton College eight to victory in the Ladies’ Challenge Plate at Henley Royal Regatta in 1899. He won a music scholarship to Oxford University and continued to row there as a student. He took up sculling while at Oxford and won the Diamond Challenge Sculls at Henley in 1902. He rowed in the losing Oxford crew in the Boat Race in 1903, but again won the Diamond Challenge Sculls at Henley that summer. On leaving Oxford in 1903, Frederick rowed at Leander Club and was in the Leander crews which won the Grand Challenge Cup at Henley Regatta in 1903, 1904 and 1905 and the Stewards’ Challenge Cup in 1906. In 1905 he again won the Diamond sculls, his time of 8 minutes and 10 seconds standing as a course record for over 30 years. His nal competitive C M race was in the 1908 Olympics in London when he rowed as a member of the Great Britain Y CM crew that won gold medal. MY Programme for the 1908 Olympic Games CY held in London CMY K Aer retiring from competitive rowing, Frederick moved to Bisham where he continued to scull regularly along the stretch of the river between Marlow Bridge and Temple.
