December 2021

December 2021 brings the following new items to the site.

A new chapter has been added, Peter Bond's history of the NSW Central Districts Rowing Association. Thank you Peter for making this work available to the site and thank you Hope Stewart for the design work. The Central Districts Clubs are numerous in number and are a key part of NSW rowing.
Rowing profiles continue to be added at a good rate and thank you to Kate Elliott for her continued stream of Ballarat City rower profiles. An interesting story added for Thomas Gilchrist, who had a small but important part in the federation of Australia. He was also a foundation member of Mercantile Rowing Club.
Also, more Victorian APS Head of the River results and pages are regularly being added.
Considerable updates to the Brisbane Schoolgirls Rowing Association regatta have been added.

The idea for this history originated from the Olympic Rowing and World Senior Rowing Championship histories written by Andrew Guerin and Margot Foster in 1991, 1992 & 1993 for the Australian team handbooks. Andrew Guerin developed and extended these histories to the current format in 2004 for publication in 2004 and then expanded the site.

Steve Roll has been an invaluable contributor to the website in locating errors and finding Christian names of rowers. His superb work is acknowledged.
