It's a remarkable achieve- ment for the club and one that was celebrated in style by members at a glittering anniversary bash in Hotel Minella. 'The Island' club has a spe- cial place in the town's history and folklore and is justly proud of its century and a half on the river. And it has no plans to rest on its laurels, orlift its blades from the waterfor afinal t i m e.
