History

In 1998, the first invitation event was held for women's eight, which in 1999 became an open event known as the Henley Prize. In 2002, the Remenham Club presented a trophy in memory of its late president, Ian Rogers M.B.E., and the event was subsequently renamed The Remenham Challenge.[1][2]
