Manning of Boats Rowing at Wesley College received an impetus in 1984 through the generosity of two loyal benefactors. On Wednesday, 4th April, two new boats were named at a special ceremony, one built solely and the other partly by our Boatman, Mr. Frank Steven. The gathered audience was addressed by the Principal, who spoke of the devotion and close ties to Wesley shown by Mr. Gordon Newton and Mr. Jack Joel, who donated the boats and after whom they were named. Mrs. June Newton carried out the ceremony for "The Newton" and Mrs. Karen Joel, the "Jack M. Joel". The First and Second Crews then launched the new boats and the spectators were able to see the crews row past. At the Naming of the New Boats.
