ENID FELTHAM TROPHY<br />

This perpetual trophy has been established to recognize the valuable contribution to<br />

Calisthenics made by Enid Feltham. Mrs Feltham was a foundation member of the VCTA (now<br />

the VCCA) and has retained membership for the past 60 years.<br />

Mrs Feltham began Calisthenics with the Excelsior College in 1925 and in 1939 she established<br />

the Regent Calisthenics College. She continued coaching until the age of 75 when she closed<br />

the College in 1997. Her daughter Diane Synnott and her granddaughter Brooke Synnott<br />

re-opened Regent in 2009.<br />

Mrs Feltham was responsible for the introduction of several initiatives which have advanced<br />

Calisthenics. Her Calisthenic Handbook was one of these and another was the establishment<br />

of the first VCTA competitions which has since become the Victoria State Championships.<br />

Many prominent adjudicators and coaches were trained by Mrs Feltham and this Perpetual<br />

Trophy in her name is a wonderful way of acknowledging her achievements.<br />
