• Rowing

Every Morning at six o'clock the rowers are practising. Far out on the harbour they train while the town sleeps.

It is a lonely existence. Rowers must drop out of the social race and parties become a forgotten pastime. This year has been unique for the club in that it is the first time crews are to be actually selected (early morning rows usually make people lose their enthusiasm for this great sport).

The crews this year will be of a generally higher standard with many rowers having rowed a full and active season with the town clubs. Teams have as yet not been selected, but old stalwarts such as John Gibbons, John Pope, Peter Wiera and Wickham Noakes will form the basis of a crew which could prove to be an all-time winner in our rowing history.
