HEAT OF THE SILVER BOWL SERIES

ROD JOHNSON Charles Rodney (Rod) Johnson joined the VRC staff as an office boy in 1946, and held almost every junior and senior post along the way, becoming in 1986 only the seventh Secretary (Chief Executive Office) of the Club in 122 years. He was the first to rise to this position from the ranks within. His roles included Secretary to the Victorian Country Racing Council, Assistant VRC Secretary, and Racing Manager and Deputy Secretary. He retired in June 1994, after 48 years of dedicated and professional service to the VRC, and to the Victorian and Australian racing industry at large.
