Sidney David Bartlett Arrives!
 Rowing
Victoria would like to congratulate the Bartlett family on their latest
addition. Richard (RV State Development Coordinator) and Katrina
welcomed young Sid into the world last Thursday night at 7lbs14.
Sid has since warmed to his new home and is noted
to have a reasonable arm span – he may be one to watch in future years.
Again, congratulations... we look forward to seeing you on the banks.
