"There
is nothing, absolutely nothing half so much worth doing as simply
messing about in boats.."
HENLEY ROYAL REGATTA is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious
events in the English social calendar. The first regatta took
place 160 years ago and since 1861 the reigning monarch has always
consented to become its Royal patron.
Unlike multi lane international regattas, Henley still operates
a knock out draw with only two boats racing in each heat. This
entails the organisation of up to 100 races on some of the five
days providing a; non stop programme of racing.
There is a magnificent array of Challenge Trophies, the most
prized being the Grand Challenge Cup of Eights which dates from
the very first year of the Regatta. 1992 saw the addition of the
Temple Challenge Cup for the student Eights event and a trophy
for junior quadruple sculls, the Fawley Challenge Cup.
Yet for many guests, the racing is almost incidental to the enjoyment
of a day at Henley. With a stunning river bank site right opposite
Temple Island, the chance to sip Pimms and savour a delicious
lunch under the shade of a luxurious marquee and all the other
trappings of real VIP hospitality, who can deny that Henley really
encapsulates Britain at its very best.
