Henley Women’s Regatta is delighted to welcome four new ambassadors to the list of exceptional women supporting the event, bringing the total number of ambassadors to 20.
Paris 2024 Olympic Games medallists Esme Booth, Sam Redgrave, Mathilda Hodgkins Byrne and Becky Wilde have all joined the team. Booth, Redgrave and Hodgkins Byrne were presented with their special HWR Ambassadors badges at the volunteers’ tea party on 27 April at Henley Town Hall, where they also mingled with some of the many volunteers who help make the regatta happen every year.
Booth and Redgrave were both part of the women’s coxless four which won silver in Paris last July. Booth first raced at HWR as a junior, and went on to win the Colgan Foundation Cup for aspirational academic eights in 2018 and the Ron Needs Challenge Cup for championship eights in 2021, both for Oxford Brookes University.
Redgrave was part of Norwich Rowing Club’s first-ever eight to compete at HWR in 2016, and in 2019 won the Ron Needs Cup in a GB development crew.
