A hardback Book on the history of the famous Leander Club in Henley-On-Thames
This wonderfully illustrated and informative book is now available to Members and Non-Members alike. It has taken many hundreds of hours of painstaking research and work and is a wonderful tribute to the club past and present.
A previous book, The Brilliants, recorded the club's history up to 1997. We now have one which brings us up to date.
To quote the Editor, Andy Trotman, "You will discover many inspirational men and women who have contributed to the Club and to British rowing over 200 years. Many are superb athletes - from near-mythical figures of the early days through to the more familiar names of heroes and heroines of recent Olympiads and World Champions"
The ‘First 200 Years’ has just been shortlisted as one of the outstanding Illustrated Books of the Year in the Daily Telegraph Sports Book Awards 2019. The winner is due to be announced at the beginning of June.
