TINY KNIGHT MEMORIAL BOWL AND NANCY KNIGHT TROPHY

The trophy was presented in 1953 in honour of Mr A.A. Knight by a group of his friends from all the clubs. Mr Knight was a member of the Dittons Skiff and Punting Club from its founding in 1923 to his death in 1949, was its Captain from 1933 to 1945 and was a member of the Committee of the SRA for 15 years. He stroked the winning crews of the Gentlemen's Double-Sculling Championship races in 1924, 25 and 26, and the winning crew of the Isleworth Skiff Marathon in 1926. His contribution to the welfare of the Club, to the success of its crews, and to the good of the sport was exceptional. In 1983 the scope of the Tiny Knight Race was widened to include a section for ladies' crews. In 1988 Mr and Mrs R J Pembery presented a trophy for the winning crew of the ladies' section, plus a book in which to record the names of the winners, and named it the Nancy Knight Trophy in honour of Mrs Annie Clara (' Nancy ') Knight, the wife of 'Tiny' Knight and mother of Mrs Pat Pembery. Nancy Knight, although not an active sculler, had been a much-loved and respected member of the Dittons Skiff and Punting Club almost since its foundation in 1923 until her death in 1987.

Course ..

The course shall be over a distance of approximately 5,430 metres (3.37 miles) from a point opposite the outflow of the River Mole, downstream via the Surrey side of Raven 's Ait, round the downstream end and returning upstream on the Middlesex side to a point opposite the Dittons Skiff and Punting Club; or such other similar course as the SRA , with the approval of the Dittons Skiff and Punting Club, may decide.

Conduct of Racing

(a) Crews must keep to the Surrey half of the river going downstream and to the Middlesex bank returning upstream.

(b) Crews being overtaken shall give way, towards Surrey in both directions, to crews overtaking in so far as the course permits. Overtaking is permitted round the turn at Raven's Ait provided that no fouling or interference is caused; crews overlapping at the approach have right of way in order from Middlesex to Surrey . Overtaking is permitted on the return up the Middlesex side of Raven's Ait only if there is no danger of a clash with other river traffic. Failure to observe these requirements shall render the crews concerned liable to disqualification or a time penalty.

(c) The progress of the competing crews shall be watched by umpires stationed along the course, each of whom shall have the powers of warning and disqualification, or the imposition of a time penalty, according to the SRA Rules of Racing and Rules 6(a) and 6(b).

(d) An umpire intending to disqualify a crew shall notify that crew immediately, or as soon as practicable afterwards, and shall declare the reason for doing so. Upon being notified of its disqualification, the crew shall pull into the bank clear of other competing crews. In the event of an umpire being u.nable to notify a disqualified crew during the race, he shall notify the Race Committee at the finish of racing, and the disqualified crew as soon as practicable afterwards.

(e) If an umpire considers that a time penalty should be imposed, the amount of the penalty shall be decided by the Race Committee in consultation with the umpire.

(f) Crews infringing any other race Rules shall be liable to incur a time penalty, the amount of the penalty to be decided by the Race Committee.

(g) Any objections or disputes must be lodged with the Race Committee within 20 minutes of the race finishing.
