A PROUD HISTORY OF SUCCESS
Tweed Rowers were responsible for improving rowing in
Queensland during
the 1950’s. The ladies won
the Australian Women’s Four in 1949, 1950 and 1954 and the men’s eight
represented Queensland at the King’s Cup from 1954 -
1958.
Over the years, many of the club’s
members have won numerous State, Australian and even world titles, at all
levels including junior, senior and masters. Some rowers have represented
their State and their Country. The Club has also won the
Queensland
and
Northern Rivers Club Championships on numerous occasions over the
years.
Since 1948 Tweed Rowers have won over
60 National Titles and the club is one of the leading clubs of
Australia
with the number of State Titles
won.
Every year for the past 4 years a
Tweed Rower has achieved a
medal at a world championship event.
Some of the recent successful Tweed Rowers
include Tara Kelly, Matthew Bolster, Martina Smidt, Lincoln Handley, Peter
Faint, Lindsay Anderson, Garry Annand and earlier, brothers Duncan Free
and Marcus Free.
