The Westdale crews stepped up and got on the water this morning despite it being very cold.  To help stave off the cold I have two pairs of Westdale pogies to give away.  So at least two of you could have warm hands.    To make it fair I am going to run a contest.     The first two athletes that are able to email me the answer to the following question will each get a pair.

I believe that knowing the history of our sport is important.  More specifically the history of our sport in the city of Hamilton.   So this is a bit of a history question that has tie in to both Westdale and Leander Boat Club.

Email to coachroche@bell.net the answer to the following:

In 1956 there was a Leander Boat Club Royal Canadian Henley Winner.   Why was this significant to Westdale?
