Club Trophies

Club Trophies and Awards

Rather than trying to recite every achievement of the club over the last quarter-century and more, we simply list below the awarded members who have contributed so much over so many years to help our club become what it is. This page can give visitors only an overview of the history of our club and how it got to be where it is. But to every member of the club since its inception who has contributed to the club, worked hard to maintain its standards and to help it improve, and helped the club remain strong so that it has been here for the next generation of members – thank you!

President’s Trophy

The Presidents’ Trophy donated by J.E. W. Testar Esq. is an annual award presented to the member who has contributed significantly to the club, worked with enthusiastic dedication to maintain its standards and who has helped the club to focus on its main goals. The Presidents’ Trophy has been awarded since its inception during the 1979-80 rowing season and was a trophy for the most improved oarsman at the beginning until it became the annual club award for dedication and general club achievements in 2000.
The original trophy was lost in the proceedings of Eights dinner 2012 (!) A new trophy was first awarded in 2014.

King’s Plate for Most Improved Rower

This recognizes the oarsman or oarswoman who has demonstrated the most improvement during a term or over the course of his or her rowing career. The award is given to rowers who are notable for their exquisite physical technique and who are using their abilities to their greatest advantage. The silverware accompanying this award was generously sponsored by the King family in 2009, and particularly served as a reminder of the continuous support the Boat Club has enjoyed from Francis King over the years.
