THE OLD.
THE NEW.
The Mercantile Rowing Club is making a new departure
in S.A. Rowing in holding combined Scratch Eights. Members
of all clubs have been asked to participate and the
response has been more than gratifying. The proceeds from
the entrance fees will augment the Building Fund to the
extent of ₤8.
The present shed was built 25 years ago and it is superfluous
to say it needs replacing. Plans have been prepared
for a two storey jarrah structure with a flat roof for viewing
the races ; the cost will be ₤750. Rowing is an expensive
sport and an additional drawback is the absence of any outside
help in the shape of gate money. The upkeep of the
boathouse and boats takes every penny of the 60 odd
members' subscriptions of 30/- each. As each member has
to pay for all entrance fees, training expenses, etc., to
increase the subscription would cause a lot of the members to
drop out. We cannot charge you for admission to view
races, but if you would care to add a little to the ₤Ioo we
have already collected from members only, kindly fill in the
form below and give it to any member.
