The Town Cup

At a meeting of the Burnham Urban District Council in 1926, it was agreed that the Town should purchase a challenge cup to be competed for in Burnham Week. A committee was appointed to oversee the project and consisted of local business men, C.C.Booth, J.A.Cole (grandfather of the last JCC Chairman), G.J.Cranfield, E.W.Sadler and E.Dilliway. To pay for the trophy, funds were raised from the Chamber of Trade, the boatyards, breweries and the foundry.

The first Town Cup race was held in 1927 and since then it has become a major part of the final Saturday of Burnham Week. The winner of the trophy was given a white flag to fly, thus enabling those on the shore to see which was the winning boat, nowadays they are given a winners flag displaying the words ‘Town Cup Winner’ and the year. The trophy was presented by the Chairman of the Town Council, now by the Town Mayor and after being filled with champagne was taken along the waterfront to each of the clubs, a tradition which is still held today. The ever changing design of boats has meant that the Race Committee has had to keep up with the changes and alter the qualification accordingly and with the advances in technology, the results can be seen on the internet almost instantly.

The list of previous winners contains some famous names from the East Coast yachting scene and winning the Town Cup is still a prestigious achievement.
