Rowing Club

The Rowing Club this year has more to offer than in any previous year. For the past two years V.U.C. has not been represented in the Tournament owing to the impossibility of obtaining a boat. This has been due firstly to the low standard of rowing, and secondly to the fact that the Inter-Provincial eights have been held in Wellington at the same time as the Varsity race.

This year, however, V.U.C. will again enter the lists. An eight has been purchased by the Club and the problem of the boat is solved. All that is needed now is a crew. We are in need of active oarsmen—men who wish to see V.U.C. rowing at the top again. Newcomers are especially welcomed and it is hoped that this year will see the beginning of a new era as far as Varsity rowing is concerned. But remember that rowing is a man's sport. Only by training and assiduous practice can you become competent. We want members who are keen and who will train consistently throughout the season. If you desire to take up the sport leave a note in the rack for the secretary.

The committee is at present endeavouring to find ways and means of erecting a Club-house of its own. It is our desire that in the very near future the Club will be able to stand on its own feet and to enter in regattas as a separate club.?
