OGC sports news: The Albert Bell Club
STUART OLSEN (OGC 1993), ABC PRESIDENT
The Albert Bell Club is celebrating our 50th season next year..
Funding secured
I am proud to announce that we have helped secure the purchase of both an eight and a four through our financial contributions and connections to the boat renewal program.
Additionally, a seat replacement plan is now in place, with the ABC committed to assisting wherever needed in future seasons.
Success at the World Junior Championships
In exciting news, Alex Williams (OGC 2023) won a bronze medal at the World Junior Championships in Canada, competing in the Men’s U19 Double Scull, while Charlie Rahdon (OGC 2022), representing Harvard University, won the Head of the Charles Regatta in the US, rowing in the Lightweight VIII.
ABC Annual Dinner
Following an intensive week at the recent National Training Centre Assessment Camp, Charlie Batrouney (OGC 2018) was selected to join Rowing Australia’s National Training Centres for 2025 and work towards representing Australia at the highest level of competition.
National Training Centre Selection
Looking ahead to early 2025, the Albert Bell Club will be celebrating our 50th year of supporting the Geelong College rowing program at our annual dinner on Friday 14 March. We would love to see as many past rowers as possible and current parents there on the night – keep an eye out for the invitation soon!
