For sale is a Steward's Enclosure Members pass badge issued by the stewards of the Henley Royal Regatta. This badge displays the regatta's HRR monogram.

Their annual regatta is the major rowing event of Britain, taking place each July and is also renowned as a major social event. For someone to obtain one of these passes they must be recommended by an existing member and seconded by another.

The first Hanley Regatta was held in 1839 and has been held annually ever since, with the exception of the years affected by the two World Wars and the COVID-19 pandemic. In 1851, the annual event obtained royal patronage when Prince Albert became the event's first royal patron. Since Albert's death in 1861, the reigning British monarch has continued to be the Henley Royal Regatta's patron.
