In the club's golden jubilee year Maranui won just the one national
title: Senior Surf Teams Race. B Crowder, W Penny, M Haxton, R Maltby.
Crowder also picked up two national swimming tittles in this year.
1963-64
The gear shed was added in November. At the Auckland Nationals the
senior boat crew was hammered by huge surf. In true Maranui tradition
they were disqualified after ramming another boat. G Gallaher scored
Maranui's only two tries, one converted by J Warwick in the annual game
against Titahi Bay. National Titles: Senior Belt Race: B Crowder. Senior
Surf Race: B Crowder.
1967-68
For those who want to know why the club did not help out in the Wahine
disaster. What happened was, shortly after midday, our services were
offered, but turned down by the authorities. Three members managed to go
to Worser Bay and helped man one of the rescue boats. The club's rugby
team, the 'Wellington Surfies' went through the season undefeated and
won the fifth grade.
WE'RE GETTING TO THE REST, BUT WE NEED ALL THE 'GOOD OIL'. SO E-MAIL US NOW ANY RESULTS AND ANECDOTES SO WE CAN COMPLETE THE JOB.
