On 26 January 2010, during our annual Biglands and Doyle knockout regatta, there was a ceremony to name the two new pair/doubles. One was named the ‘One and All’, named on behalf and in honour of the late John Bowden, and the other was named the Helen Wighton, after our former President and master rower.

John Bowden – life member
22 04 2009
On Sunday 19 April 2009 we celebrated John Bowden being made a life member of the club for his outstanding contribution to so many aspects of club life. He was presented with his certificate of life membership before a huge crowd in the clubrooms, including his wife Helen, his children and grandchildren, current members young and old, and many retired members and members of other rowing clubs. His speech of thanks was characteristically generous, praising the efforts and support of his many rowing friends and colleagues. We are very proud to have him as a life member.
