The New Ross Boat Club had their 21st annual regatta in July of 1898 according to the Freeman's Journal newspaper.

Eton Boating Song - youtu.be/jvMDjT45XVE Words and music, if you feel like bashing it out or singing along - www.etoncollege.com/userfiles/files/BoatingSong4.pdf

Megazoom - the inscription on the jug on the bottom step says 'Challenge Cup' which is odd because it's the only trophy which isn't a cup. Below that there's a year. It's not clear but I'd hazard a guess at 1893 or 1895.

There's a photo of what I assume is Waterford Boat Club (despite the title) given their jackets here with what looks like the same Challenge Cup at the bottom, though turned the other way.

It was deciphered as the Harbour Commissioners Challenge Cup, when it appeared before:

It's a bit close to the sea for Gorey. Other ones labelled Gorey have been Courtown.

as we have all seen before, finery backed with tatty carpets (!) ... maybe that was another impact of "the emergency" (!). welcome back after the new holiday ...
John Spooner said:
A good schoolfriend of mine many decades ago in Lincolnshire was a certain Tony Ward. His father (Noel, I think, but I may be wrong) was a doctor who originally came from New Ross (and he was a very good billiards player). I wonder ...

P.S. I can't see any family resemblance between the gents pictured and my friend. Quite the opposite in fact.

... but in 1955 it was Joseph Ward of Mary Street (phone 147) who was an electrical contractor advertising his service in the field of Rural Electification. (New Ross Standard - Friday 18 March 1955)
