1887 - Elected Patron of Yarra Yarra Rowing Club.
He was another Melbourne business man in fact he was chairman of BHP.
The Club has not found any other information about him.
He could be the same as a W F McGregor who raced successfully for Yarra Yarra Rowing Club in a junior eight at the Melbourne Regatta in 1882 and in a senior eight also at the same regatta in the same year.

The idea for this history originated from the Olympic Rowing and World Senior Rowing Championship histories written by Andrew Guerin and Margot Foster in 1991, 1992 & 1993 for the Australian team handbooks. Andrew Guerin developed and extended these histories to the current format in 2004 for publication in 2004 and then expanded the site.
Steve Roll has been an invaluable contributor to the website in locating errors and finding Christian names of rowers. His superb work is acknowledged.
