Champion Of Champions
The Champion of Champions trophy is awarded to the Open finalist whose time is the best when compared to the existing championship record. It was donated by long-term indoor rowing supporters Harry and Jessie Welsh. Over 150 years old, the trophy was made by Jessie's grandfather, a master silversmith from Birmingham.
The 2010 trophy was awarded to Graham Benton - for the fifth time! Graham won the Men Open Hwt category in a time of 5:50.8 and picked up a Lifetime Achievement award as well.
