Great News for the Meaford Rowing Club ...

What a generous Christmas gift our new rowing club received from Angelina Kwan and John Slade who are presently in China. We are now in the possession of an autographed hat from Arnold Palmer and Bobby Hull, and another signed by Anika Sorenson and Nick Price. Wow, these are our first donations to our first fundraiser/auction for the Meaford Rowing Club which will take place in 2007...

Thank You so much Angelina and John!

On Christmas day I had the honour of attending Mollys birthday party on Christmas day in beautiful Meaford. What a great time I had, to say the least. I mentioned with excitement of the donation I had just recently picked up and would you believe Darryll, who was also a guest at the party offered the Meaford Rowing Club an autographed Sydney Crosby sweater and hockey stick. You could well imagine how thrilled I was...
It gets better ... a few moments later Darryll tells me, he is going to up the donation, to an autographed Bobby Orr sweater. Wow!

Thank You so much Darryll!

I will post the pictures on the website in the new year

The Meaford Rowing Club
is not exactly the rowing capital of the world yet...

But through the efforts of Collingwood Rowing Club President - Ian Hawkens, and our good friends in the rowing community, we will be receiving a four and an eight from the Argonaut Rowing Club and the famous four named "Woody" from Collingwood RC. Many thanks to our friends at the Collingwood Rowing Club...

Good News from Collingwood Rowing Club President - Ian Hawkens

Good morning John,

The Argo boat details are below and I am planning to see them this weekend in Toronto. I’ll take pictures of them and if you are interested in them I can show them to you .

Here is a brief description of the boats. All of them are wood, mid-hwt, rowable, come with seats and riggers, suitable for learn to row or novice, but raceable to some extent: ( as in, if it floats you can race in it)

We're only interested in “stern coxed 4’s” but thought if your club wanted any of them, we could have them all delivered over the next month or so. Does the Meaford club have any boats and are you rowing in 2007.

Looking forward to speaking with you I’ll be in touch next week.

Thanks,

Ian Hawkins
