We lost Mike Green at the end of 2020. Mike was Christchurch Rowing Club, in that after starting rowing in the late 1950's, he continued rowing, coaching and working in roles within the Club until the end. He also did masses amount of work with our governing bodies, now British Rowing, and his family have informed us that, if he had survived, would have been awarded the British Empire Medal in this year's Queens Birthday honours list for his services to rowing.

For years Mike worked with junior rowers to a very high standard, and today (Monday 11th July 2022) we are announcing the Junior Rowing Bursary scheme in his memory.

In memory of Mike Green, his family kindly requested for donations to be made to CRC to be used for the benefit of junior rowing in the Christchurch area.

​

CRC will establish an award in Mike's memory, to be named "The Mike Green Rowing Award". The award will be initially funded for the first 5 years using the donations received in Mike's memory.

Following the initial 5-year period, the intention is that CRC will continue to fund the award with £300 per year, to continue the scheme into the future.   It will continue to be named in honour of Mike Green into perpetuity, as a long-term tribute to the contribution that Mike made to CRC, and the sport of rowing more generally.
