John XXIII Rowing Club
Saturday Trainings
Once again, we had a fabulous turn out on 2 April for our last female Saturday training session before our rowing season kicks off. We are very lucky for our parent helpers who always put on a great spread. Last Saturday was no exception. Many thanks to Melissa and Brendan Aylmore, Yolande Wall and Kieran Derbyshire.
Rowing Camp – 11-13 April

The bus will be leaving at 5:30am each morning for commencement at Canning River at 6:00am each morning.
Many thanks to the parents who will be helping with breakfast and lunch each day. Schedules have been emailed to all parents.
