Help get the AWRC boys to Henley Royal Regatta
Whanganui, Manawatu-Wanganui
For years, it’s been a dream to send a crew from Aramoho-Whanganui Rowing Club to the Henley Royal Regatta — the most prestigious club regatta in the world, held at Henley-on-Thames.
Through hosting UK gap students over the past four years, the seed was planted and given time to grow and develop into a dream and now reality.
Our 4x crew of Nicky Maxim, Bryn Morgan, Jake Newton and Xavier Warren have grown through the program together, earning 20 Maadi medals and 8 National Champs medals over the past 4 years. More importantly, they represent everything our club stands for.
They’ll race the Fawley Challenge Cup (Junior Boys Quad Sculls) — an event many of our UK athletes have competed in, and one where an AWRC athlete (Eli Kuehne) made the final in 2025.
They’re not just going there to compete — they're going there to win.
No NZ club crew has done that at Henley since the 1960s.
The boys are balancing work and in Nicky's case school as well while preparing for this opportunity. All funds raised go directly toward flights and accommodation — the biggest barriers to making this happen.
If you can support, you’re helping them represent our club, our community, and New Zealand on the world stage.

Thank you so much! Absolute legend!
Thank you! Bryn lives in the pain cave
