Two legends in the sport of fixed seat rowing will receive the sport’s highest honour. The Royal St. John’s Regatta Committee has announced two new inductees into the Regatta Hall of Fame – Charles Cook, in the category of builder, and Ed Williams, in the rower category.
Starting in 1987 with the Re/Max Crew, Williams rowed until 2007 after competing in numerous championship races that culminated in two Placentia Regatta championship wins and six Royal St. John’s Regatta championship wins. He also holds two Regatta long course records and was named 1994 oarsman of the year.
Williams has also contributed to the Regatta, both by writing a song about the 1884 tragedy of the death of members of the Torbay Crew titledy, which was featured in the 1995 Regatta program and currently hangs on a plaque in the Regatta museum. Following his father Charlie Cook, he began his participation as a Regatta Committee member in 1990, eager to lend his skills and expertise. It wasn’t long before his exceptional abilities were recognized, and he was appointed as the Director of Ground Space. Embracing this responsibility wholeheartedly, Cook proved himself to be a capable and efficient leader.
Elevating his involvement further, Cook assumed the roles of Vice President in 2006 and 2007, followed by the position of President in 2008 and 2009. His leadership and organizational skills set new standards of excellence for the Regatta. Cook’s tenure as President marked a period of tremendous growth and success, with his strategic decision-making and collaborative approach propelling the regatta to new heights.
