‘COME FORWARD’ – The NSW Union of Rowers Inc. Newsletter 5/2011 2011 AGM / PRESENTATION LUNCHEON

The Union’s Annual Meeting on 21st August saw the appointment of our first lady President, Barbara Ramjan (centre) with (left to right) James Waldersee (Balmain), Cameron & Sarah Kitcher (Grafton High); Georgie Gotch (Queenwood School); Victoria Delipetar (UTS & Jameson High) and Holly Lawrence (Hunter Valley Grammar). CONGRATULATIONS! Two milestones were passed – our 100th Scholarship and the first brother & sister to receive scholarships. Our winners impressed everyone with their demeanour and confidence. Our guest speaker Peter Collett, Trans Atlantic Solo Rowing Challenge winner captivated the luncheon with his oratory, videos and power point presentation of his 76 day voyage. Thank you Peter for the description of your inspiring and daring adventure. Dr. Phil Sharp, Tim Wainman and Kim Mackney were awarded with 50 year Meritorious Service Certificates and a very surprised Kim Mackney also received the 2011 Master of the Year Award.

Olympian and 2011 NSW Union of Rowers Master of the Year Kim Mackney is pictured here with 2010-11 President Russell McLean and 2011-12 President Barbara Ramjan. Thank you St. George Rowing Club for your hospitality.
