ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The production of this program is the culmination of significant work from the Brisbane Boys’ College Rowing Support Group. We hope the program will act as a souvenir of the wonderful times oarsmen from all schools have enjoyed while rowing. BBC continues to enjoy strong support from our sponsors, which is evident by the advertising content in this program. Your continued support is helping many young people to row in top quality equipment and for this we thank you most sincerely. Volunteers continue to donate their skills and time to BBC Rowing. To these supporters a huge thanks.
