The Spike or Victoria University College Review 1935

Rowing Club

Rowing Club

Spike heralds the coming of summer. Bright, warm days and smooth waters appeal irresistably, and oarsmen throughout the city are once again turning their thoughts to the vigorous, refreshing pleasure of a pull in the Harbour.

Last season has a worthy significance in the history of the Victoria University College Rowing Club. It will always be remembered as the season when the Club first seriously boated its recently acquired "eight" and, too, for the emergence of several promising new oarsmen. To find a place in the "eight" was in itself almost sufficient recompense for months of training and for months of endeavour to attain proficiency in the not-so-simple art of rowing.

Victoria's crew at the Easter Tournament was unplaced. This was disappointing to the crew and to our enthusiastic trainer, but not in the least discouraging. We meet our conquerors next year on home waters. That is an advantage, but leaves a great deal to be done.

The Club's Annual Meeting is held in the third term. We ask you to attend, for we want to enthuse you with our own enthusiasm for this greatest of summer sport. Give it your serious consideration.
