The Hyne Cup is a private race held each Spring between the eights of Weybridge RC and Walton RC. The cup itself was donated by the family of John Hyne, a Weybridge RC member who was killed in World War II.
Nowadays, all the clubs on the Shepperton to Sunbury reach - Weybridge RC, Walton RC, Weybridge Ladies ARC, Thames Valley Skiff Club, St George's College BC & Cranmore School - are invited to race over the course in crew boats.
It was originally a side-by-side race, but it is presently run as a 'head' race (time trial) rowed over 3300 metres downstream from Elmbridge Canoe Club to Little Tumbling Bay weir (adjacent to Elmbridge Leisure Centre); this is the Weybridge Silver Sculls course in reverse.
The contested trophies are:-
Hosting of the event alternates between Walton RC and Weybridge RC. The date is agreed between the respective captains; it is usually in February.
Weybridge RC are hosts in 2018. The race will take place on Sunday 4th February 2018 with Div.1 at 10am and Div.2 at 11:30am.
