Hammersmith Regatta
Hammersmith Amateur Regatta was founded in 1924 by a committee drawn from the many Hammersmith clubs that existed in those days. It has been held every year since then with the exception of the war years 1940 -1945, 2019 when it was cancelled due to high winds, and 2020 when the nation was under lockdown due to Covid-19.
The regatta takes place in late April each year.
Dewar Shield
The Dewar Shield is an annual head race open to the three Hammersmith based rowing clubs, namely Auriol Kensington, Furnivall and Sons of the Thames.
Points are awarded for finishing positions in Senior, Novice and Veterans categories for both men and women. The club with the most points wins the coveted shield and bragging rights for another year.
