Dear Members,

Please enjoy the vicarious glow of Olympic glory with Club member Jess Morrison becoming an Olympic Champion in the Women's Four and Ria Thompson taking bronze in the quad scull. As Club members, we have all contributed to this success.

Congratulations also to the men's four and men's quad on their great performances which keep our heart rates off the scale.

Men's Four take Gold

Men's quad scull take bronze

It was a day of racing which brought memories of 1996 rushing back when we won the women's pair and men's four within an hour of each other and we took home a silver and two bronze medals as well. These moments do not come often and must be appreciated.

Congratulations to Amanda Bateman on winning the B Final of the women's double in a great race.
