in the Thames Cup. The crew was composed of:
- Kevin O' Sullivan at bow (Eton Excelsior)
- Alan Smiter (also Eton Excelsior and the Club's first captain)
- Bill Rawson (Reading R.C.)
- Charles Hawtrey (a First and Third man from Cambridge)
- John Wingfield (Jesus College, Cambridge)
- David Neal (Henley R.C.)
- Hugh Cochrane (Reading R.C.)
- David Mayers stroke (Shrewsbury and Clare College, Cambridge)
- J Hooper (Marlow R.C.) as cox
One of the earliest crews to enter for the World Veteran Rowing Championships (the World Masters Regatta) was a coxless four from Upper Thames comprising Peter Sutherland, Sid Rand, Derek Thurgood and Glynne Davies in the early 1970s.
A number of renowned oarsmen have passed through the club membership, including many World and Olympic medalists. In 2014 two crews won the club's first trophies at Henley. They were:
The
Wyfold Challenge Cup
- Ed Couldwell
- Michael Nagi
