Funds raised on the evening will go towards the Club purchasing a new racing Coxed Quadruple Scull to replace one of our older boats; which after many years of wear has meant that it spends more time being repaired than being rowed. The Bogan Bingo night is a great opportunity for the rowing community to come together as well as fundraise towards purchasing a new Quad for the program that is accessed by over 200 students each year. In a small shed like John XXIII’s, it is vital that the equipment is safe as well as providing the best opportunities for our students to learn correct technique.

A quadruple sculling boat, often simply called a quad and abbreviated 4x, is a rowing boat used in the sport of competitive rowing. It is designed for four persons who propel the boat by sculling with two oars, or ‘sculls’, one in each hand.
