Note: "That a club to be
called the Vancouver Rowing Club be formed, the charter members of which to be
all the members of the Vancouver Boating Club and the Burrard Inlet Rowing Club
who are in good standing. With this motion being passed unanimously by a meeting
of both clubs on April 1st, 1899, our present club came into being. The VBC was
the more senior of the two clubs, having been formed in 1886, . . . This is
reflected by that year being emblazoned on our Club Crest. The BIRC was formed
four years later."
