The Melburnia Club warmly invites you to the inaugural Melburnia Dinner on Friday 29 August in the Luxton Dining Hall.

This special dinner is a chance to connect generations of Old Melburnian rowers, celebrate the Melburnia Club's history and look toward the exciting future of rowing at Melbourne Grammar School.

Join us for a three-course dinner, as we launch the new Melburnia Caps, celebrate the Anniversary Crews and hear from special guests throughout the night.

Reunion Rows
We are particularly excited to welcome back our Anniversary Crews from years ending in '5' who will be gathering at the Simon Fraser Memorial Boat House for reunion rows ahead of the dinner. If you'd like to join a reunion row, please email om@mgs.vic.edu.au.

A new President
After over a decade of dedicated service, John Michelmore (OM 1979) will hand over the oars to Stephen Blakeney (OM 2009) as new President of the Melburnia Club. John's dedication and passion for rowing, and the support he has given to Old Melburnians pursuing their rowing dreams and competing at every level has left a lasting impact on us all. Join us at the Melburnia Dinner, to farewell John and welcome Stephen. 

Our aim is to reach as many Old Melburnian rowers as possible. Please help us by forwarding this invitation to other Old Melburnians who might be interested. If you would like to be more actively involved in the Melburnia Club, please contact om@mgs.vic.edu.au or +61 3 9865 7682.
