CELEBRATING OUR MEN IN THE AUSTRALIAN MEN'S EIGHT

Rowing Victoria is pleased to be able to recongise the hard work and dedication of all the men in the Australian Men's Eight that raced at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

There were six Victorian's in the Men's Eight with cox Stuart Sim (MUBC), Josh Booth (MUBC), Simon Keenan (MUBC), Tim Masters (MUBC), Nick Lavery (UTS), and Angus Widdicombe (Mercantile) along with reserve Rohan Lavery (MUBC).

We are very pleased to be able to share with you Josh Booth and Nick Lavery's experience from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Where would we be without Volunteers??

Volunteers are hugely important for the safe, enjoyable and successful running of all Victorian regattas however in today’s busy world finding enough volunteers can sometimes be challenging for regatta hosts.   

Often we here from spectators, family and friends that they would enjoy helping out at regattas but don’t quite know how or who to ask.

To make the process easier for all Rowing Victoria has created a Volunteer Registration Portal. Simply fill out the short and easy form and Rowing Victoria will be in touch, letting you know when and how you can help out.
