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.

Best of luck to all the competitors for the Head of the Yarra on Saturday, and especially to all 6 crews from YYRC.

Afterwards, members and their guests are invited to a post HoTY BBQ in the YYRC club house. Food available and the bar will be open.

We look forward to welcoming back some of the interstate crews who call Yarra their 'home from home' whilst competing in this iconic race.
