Boat naming ceremony, 5 December 2003

On Friday 5 December 2003, Sydney Boys High School Rowing thanked Chris Watson (1999) for his support of High rowing. 

At the formal end of proceedings Con Barris spoke of a boy who came to the sheds nine years ago, started to ‘help out’ around the place and became an invaluable part of Sydney High rowing. In reply Chris Watson spoke of his reasons for sticking around after he had finished school – it was all about the spirit of the Sydney High shed. Chris said that he wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t an enjoyable place to be and that it was the people involved in Sydney High rowing who made it enjoyable. Chris’ parents were on hand to help with the christening.
