Two and a bit races? Two full races, then time made for starter Hunter-Coddington, and stragglers Bowman and Harris.
A cup in memory of Mike Small - one arm, withered leg, wicked sense of humour. "A hindrance, not a disability".
Mike Small is another of the club's great characters from the past. Mike had a horrific motorcycle accident in his youth which left him with one arm, a withered leg and in continuous pain. Mike viewed this as a hindrance, not a disability. His wicked sense of humour never left him and is reflected in the shape of the Mike Small cup adapted to his own, unique specifications by club silversmith Bill Phipps: half an arm and a wonky base. A fond friend to all that swam with him, Mike passed away in 1993. (photo: Christmas morning 1991)

Can 2022 winner Andrew Fuller retain the trophy?
