Further to the sad news of the passing of Ted Dhergold please see below for a statement from BTC Rowing Club.

"It is with great sadness B.T.C. has to report the passing of our Life Member and Club President, Edward “Ted” Shergold on Saturday, January 7th.

Ted joined B.T.C. around 1945, at the end of the war before a brief spell at the newly founded Southampton A.R.C where he won the A.R.A British Championship Desborough Eights race in the early 1950’s. Rowing as a Senior oarsman he just missed out on a championship in 1959.

Ted was also extremely involved with the Hants & Dorset ARA he was a race official and a Life Vice President of the association. In 1986 & 1987 was chosen to be the Association President (a role which can only be held for two years) where he managed the set-up of numerous Hants & Dorset regatta and South Coast courses. In the 1970’s Ted was voted into the South Coast Council, where he was influential in many South Coast Championships. His dedication to the rowing community was recognised in 2010 when he was awarded the Daily Echo award for service to the Hants & Dorset, in 2006 where he was awarded Life Membership for services to the South Coast Council and A South Coast Lifetime Achievement Award In 2019.

Everyone at B.T.C. IS very thankful and proud of all that Ted has done behind scenes, not just for our club but for the wider rowing community, the Hants & Dorset and the South Coast Championships. Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time."

The "Daily Echo Trophy" in Memory of Arthur Chatfield.

The "Daily Echo Trophy" in Memory of Arthur Chatfield.

The "Daily Echo Trophy" was presented to the Association in memory of the late Arthur Chatfield and is awarded annually,

at the Presentation Dinner, by the Association, to an individual

for Services to the Association and to Coastal Rowing.

It was agreed that Clubs would be asked to nominate candidates   for the award and that the Association's Executive Officers would make a final decision on who should receive the Trophy from those nominated. Nominations do not have to be, and arguably should  not be, from your own Club. It should be noted that the award is   for services to the Association and Coastal Rowing - and while    there are many deserving Club members who have made a significant contribution to their own Clubs - with this award we   seek to recognize significant contributions to our Association and    to Coastal Rowing.

Could your Club, therefore, please give consideration to who you may wish to nominate for this Trophy and send the nomination to me at 10, Brookfield Gardens, Binstead, Ryde, Isle of Wight, PO33 3NP or by E Mail me at stephencbull@gmail.com  and to pennyrowing@gmail.com by the 22nd^th October, 2022.
