Boat naming ceremony 2010
On Saturday was the club summer BBQ and boat naming, attended by many of the club. We were lucky enough to have a period of sunshine whilst a number of boats were named, and local councillors attended the ceremony. The boats named were: –
Martyn Silvester: | men’s Empacher coxless four |
Sheena Craig: | women’s IRS coxless four |
Ben Melham: | men’s IRS coxless four |
Lucy Brennan: | women’s Janousek pair |
Brian Day: | men’s Janousek pair |
John Wood, Tony Allen and Peter Hilditch: | club singes |
It was very nice to be able to remember Martyn at the ceremony, and members of his family were able to raise a toast to him and put his last bottle of Sloe gin to good use. The event was covered by Richmond & Twickenham times Rowers name new boats during special ceremony.
The Summer BBQ followed and was spent dodging the showers but a good time was had by all.
