Fastest time : Bedford Star R.C. - 7.21.00 - 1999 Holder : Bedford Star R.C. Distance : 2000m THE COLONEL'S CUP This cup was the trophy for the U.K. Senior Eights at the 1919 Peace Regatta at Henley. It was won by Thames Rowing Club. It was then presented to the legendary Jack Beresford senior, (Berry), who had rowed in the crew at the age of 51. It was returned to T.R.C. in 1960 by Berry's sons, Jack and Eric. From 1966 to1972 it was the cup for Junior Double Sculls at the National Youth Championships. The loan of this cup was negotiated by the previous Chairman, David McLellan, often called 'Colonel' by the rest of the Committee, as a farewell gesture. As the plinth is full, a book of honour has been added.
