After States Party After the State Championships, of course, you have the States After Party! This year's after party will be held on the ground floor of the boatshed, more or less as soon as boat unloading has been completed. Unloading should be done and dusted by 6:30pm or so on Sunday 19th September. Rita Campbell and her team of mighty minions will be providing a BBQ dinner for $10 per head. It's BYO beverages, and partners are welcome to attend. The
night will also feature the traditional fines ceremony, presentation
of the TANK award for 2010, and I believe Andrew Taylor has a
few special surprises in store. (You have been warned.) |

Girls Only Row - Help Required It's for fun! Oh, and breakfast! It is hosted by a different club each year and it’s WESTIES turn. We invite girl rowers for other clubs, and recreational and ex-rowers. In fact the only prerequisite is that the participants know how to row as we don't want to have to teach them on the day. As the host club we provide all the boats, oars and coxswains. Our guests, and those of us not coxing, have a row for about an hour (Maylands and back) and then all meet upstairs for breakfast. It is a great way to get to know rowers form other clubs and it also raises some funds for the club as each participant pays $15 to take part. We get the boys to cook the breakfast so that we can chat, as girls are known to do so well. The date for this great event is Sunday Oct 10, starting at 7am. Anyone who is willing to help out be it girls for coxing/rowing or guys that are willing to cook breakfast can you please contact Deb Mason via email debbie15@westnet.com.au |
