Established in 1871, YYRC has a proud tradition as a community club run solely by volunteers.

A reminder that Yarra Yarra Rowing Club members, and friends of Colin from along the riverbank, are invited to join us at the club on:

Thursday 21 May from 7:00pm onwards

We will hold the christening of the club’s new Sykes eight, “Colin Johnston”, and celebrate the life of our friend and clubmate, Colin Johnston, who recently passed away.

Please come along to share stories, memories and raise a glass to Colin. We will miss him greatly and will continue to think of him every time the “Colin Johnston” takes to the water.

AN INVITATION

Yarra Yarra Rowing Club members, and friends of Colin from along the riverbank, are invited to join us at the club on:

Thursday 21 May from 7:00pm onwards

We will hold the christening of the club’s new Sykes eight, “Colin Johnston”, and celebrate the life of our friend and clubmate, Colin Johnston, who recently passed away.

Colin recently and very generously donated the new boat to his crew-mates and to the club — a lasting gift that will carry his name and spirit for many years to come.

Please come along to share stories, memories and raise a glass to Colin. We will miss him greatly and will continue to think of him every time the “Colin Johnston” takes to the water.
