Valedictory Dinner A
splendid dinner was held in Canterbury in September to mark
the retirement of Stephen Graham and Richard Hooper from the
boat club. A similar weekend of boat races at Westbere, followed
by dinner is planned for Septemeber 2009. Contact Stephen Hermes,
Master i/c Rowing at King's. Edward Beaugie
Memorial Award The Edward Beaugie Memorial Medal is
awarded annually to an outstanding sports man or woman at King's
Canterbury. The medal was established in 2000, and is awarded to
individuals who show outstanding achievement, contribution
and leadership to the
school
and
their team. The award is made by a sub-committee of The Canterbury
Pilgrims that includes a member of the Beaugie family and heads
of sport at King's, who together consider nominations each year,
but do not always make an award. This underlines the excellence
required to win. In the nine years 2000-2008, eight medals were
won, across six sports. The large bronze medals are awarded by
the Headmaster at Speech Day. The award is made by the Beaugie
family, in memory
of Edward,
who
was Captain of Boats at King's Canterbury and rowed in the 1st
VIII in the Princess Elizabeth Cup at Henley. Edward was
a member of
the Canterbury Pilgrims Boat Club. Click the link for a list of
nominees
and winners. Pilgrims Racing The
Canterbury Pilgrims regularly meet at ARA
regattas and head races and Masters events. The club has
a
fleet of its own boats - two doubles and
a quad, complete
with trailer, sculls and oars. Several individual members have
their own sculling boats and King's Canterbury and other
clubs have kindly lent us bigger boats from time to time.
If you would like to organize an outing or meet at
one of
these
events,

or Ewan Pearson 020 7831 1000, ewan@canterburypilgrims.com Support for Rowing at King's The Pilgrims have made contributions
to rowing at King's Canterbury over many years. These have
often been in the form of financial assistance towards the
cost of the
Easter training camp. In recent years the Pilgrims Award
has been initiated - a financial award to a promising
member of the school boat club. Community Rowing If you are interested in the Community
Rowing run by Andy Turner in Canterbury, give him a call on 01227

of the River Race in London; Luke Moon from Dover, who won a
silver medal at National Schools Regatta; his sister Hannah Moon,
who has won the National Championships and been chosen for the
GB junior team. Andy has also coached the GB Adaptive
Four, who have won the world

are keen to keep in touch with all Pilgrims. Please advise
us of any changes of address, or update us on any 'Lost Pilgrims'
you know about and let us know if you are interested in rowing
for the Canterbury Pilgrims.
