Nepean Rowing Club (NSW)

The following tribute was published on the Rowing NSW website on Wednesday 10th October 2018.

Rowing NSW is saddened by the passing of Lee Chaumont after a long fight with cancer. Lee passed away on Saturday 6th October 2018, aged 61 years.

A member of Nepean Rowing Club where a single scull is named the "Lee Chaumont", Lee competed for Nepean up until 2015 and has been a regular volunteer in recent years. Lee was renowned for her incredible accuracy, matched with her calm and friendly demeanour, while at work timekeeping at regattas at the Sydney International Regatta Centre.

Lee Chaumont and good friend Tina De Vries were jointly awarded the Rowing NSW Volunteer of the Year Award in 2015-2016.

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.
