Club patron Twigg will also take a successful bidder out rowing on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

The auctions close at 9.30pm Saturday, and the club hopes to buy a new quad boat with the proceeds.<\/p>\n

Hawke\u2019s Bay Rowing Club president Carina Lack said 150 years was a big milestone.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is hugely special, and a privilege to be a part of.\u201d<\/p>\n

She has been involved in the club for 25 years and said there was a great culture.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe community feel, all the volunteers, all of the athletes that are a part of it, once you are in you kind of can\u2019t get out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The club currently has about 120 competitive members, mainly school-aged rowers and masters rowers (over-27s).<\/p>\n

The club has a proud history of producing top Olympians, including five gold medallists – Twigg, Tom Mackintosh, twins Georgina and Caroline Evers-Swindell, and Trask. <\/p>\n

\u201cAt the Paris Olympics, both Emma and Tom were the single scullers for New Zealand, which was pretty incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n
