We were saddened to learn of the passing of Iain MacDonald on Sunday 29th September surrounded by family after a short illness.

Iain was a long standing supporter of rowing in New South Wales, having been a past president of Sydney University Boat Club and also was a member of Mosman Rowing Club.  He managed various rowing teams including the Australian Rowing Team competing at the 1974 World Championships.  Iain also volunteered his time as a boat race official for many years, travelling from regional NSW to attend regattas to officiate, providing an invaluable contribution to the sport.
