2009 PARC Dinner

7 09 2009

Saturday 29 August

 The night was cold, wet and windy but the 2009 PARC Dinner on Saturday 29 August was a great success.  Our guests of honour were the Mayor and Mayoress of the Enfield Port Adelaide Council (Gary and Vicky Johansson).  The guest speaker was James McCrae, the Australian and International champion from the Murray Bridge Rowing Club.  He inspired our top rowers with tales of competing in and training for the Olympics and national events.  The meal was delicious (thanks Annabel), the compering incomparable (thanks Aaron), the setting exotic (thanks senior girls) and the scullery work challenging (thanks Kathy, Sue, Susie, Bev and all).

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.
