FCC is one of the oldest canoe clubs in Australia and has a rich and varied history. Tom Ohman and Zoli Szigeti are both life members of the club. Tom's History of the club can be downloaded here. You can also watch the documentary - The Pleasure was mine, a tribute to Zoli Szigeti. Zoli defected from Hungary after participating in the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games.
