Appendix 16. Annual Reports

Men's and combined men's and women's association's annual reports

Given the losses of Association records over the years, some early reports are missing. These have been replaced by the newspaper reports of the meetings concerned.

These reports have been collected, researched and mostly digitised by Andrew Guerin with Johnny McDonald preparing most of the early newspaper reports.

Last updated April 2024.

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.
