Sunday February 24th at 1pm - Paul Hiscock boat naming ceremony
 
Paul Hiscock – or ‘Hissie’ as he was affectionately known by many – sadly passed away in November 2006 and was a much-valued friend of all of us at City of Oxford Rowing Club.  His contribution to the club and our members was huge and so it is with much pleasure the club announces the naming of a new eight that we have been able to buy in his memory thanks to extremely generous donations from Paul’s friends, family and colleagues. Please join us and Paul’s family in celebrating Paul’s contribution to us all at the naming, which will be followed by a buffet lunch in the club bar.
