Our boathouse will be the venue for us to gather on Saturday May 28th from 7pm to celebrate the year and to say thanks to all our coaches and volunteers that make RRC the club it is. Friends and family are invited to enjoy the evening too with a spit roast dinner and drinks available at bar prices.
Tickets are $30 each – please buy your tickets by 20th May so we know numbers for caterers (it’s pretty hard otherwise).
Please pay for your tickets using the RRC bank account:

One of the highlights of the night is always a little slide show of photos and movie clips gathered throughout the season, so if you have any you would like to share please put them on the Facebook page or send them through to me, thanks.
Look forward to seeing and celebrating with you all.

It’s time to celebrate the season that was 2013-14.
It has been an amazing year at RRC with so much activity and progress both on and off the water. Remember way back at the start of the season we celebrated with our 150th gala dinner, then came the excitement and unrelenting training for Melbourne Head and HOTY and our Christmas hoe-down where we were serenaded with carols. Then the anticipation of a new year with the building work kicking off and club trips to Rutherglen, Tasmania, Ballarat and Geelong. Relive the memories from 7.30pm on Saturday 31st May at the Kingston Hotel in Richmond. We will congratulate the winners and offer thanks to all our coaches, coxes and volunteers. If you have photos, film clips or memories you want included in our season wrap up please let me know by contacting me at [email protected] Continue reading “Buy your tickets now for Presentation night 2014!”
