Captain 1917/18—1918/19

Vice President 1930/31 remained as such till his passing.

He won a few club races but no regatta races that show on our records.

A tub pair named in his honour 1929/30 after the shed fire.

Dave Bailey pairs club races held 1933/34-----1937/38

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.
