Never mind that Roger Bannister had just broken the four minute mile, or that someone called Elvis reckoned that he could sing and recorded his first single; 1954 was the year that WLARC member Eve took up rowing, and she is still going strong!

The sunny weather was booked and a garden party held at the WLARC boathouse. Eve was presented with a blade in WLARC colours celebrating her 50 years at WLARC.
