Harry Clasper

EDM number 40 in 2015-16, proposed by David Anderson on 27/05/2015.
Categorised under the topics of Performing arts and Sports.

That this House welcomes the production by North Eastern playwright Ed Waugh of the play ‘Hadaway Harry', which celebrates the achievements of Harry Clasper and his team who became world rowing champions in June 1845; recognises that their great efforts enabled them to hold their position intermittently over the next 26 years in coxed fours, pairs or as individual scullers; is pleased that the play shows Harry Clasper’s innovative boat design which is still used; notes that Charles Dickens recognised the achievements of the Tyneside scullers; wishes the play huge success; and hopes that it can be seen across our nation as a tribute to these heroes of sport.

This motion has been signed by a total of 19 MPs.
