The Golden Jubilee Medallions celebrating rowing in the ACT were launched today at the presentations held in the Southern Cross Marquee. The medals are now on sale and have been pitched to recover costs i.e. they are celebratory and not a fund-raising exercise.

The medallions are a large coin measuring 70mm across and 6mm thick.

A Silver medallion, in a specially embossed BRO box, is to be awarded to the BROs and to our two stalwart course maintenance men, Alex and Simo. These are not for sale. The BROs will be those who are currently making, or have made, a substantial contribution to rowing in the ACT.

Antique Gold medallions are the main medallions on sale. They will cost $15 for a single medallion in a black velvet embossed box, and $30 for a double as shown in the photo below.

A very limited number of shiny gold medallions have been produced and will be kept for presentations and for possible gifts to other partnering organisations. However, 5 single shiny gold medallions, and 5 double shiny gold medallions, have been offered for sale for $40 and $80 respectively. Two of the double boxes were sold today.

If you wish to purchase medallions you can make arrangements by email – treasurer@rowingact.org.au – for collection. We will also be making quantities available for sale through Clubs.
