It is set to be the night of nights, and also a trip down memory lane.
After all, a lot has happened on the Hunter River at Berry Park since the club began in 1998.
A dinner will be held at Easts Leisure and Golf Club on May 25 and a social row will take place on the morning of May 26.
Foundation member Lyn Rayward said the club was still trying to track down former members so they could join in the celebrations.
She urged anyone who had been involved with the club since it began 21 years ago to come forward.
"We are still hoping to contact former members," she said.
"We have a special guest speaker, Barry Moynahan, who is a historian and calls rowing races at Sydney International Rowing Centre."
Several club members recently competed in the State Masters Championship and came home with medals.
It's just one of the many meets on the annual competition circuit.
The club has about 60 members and offers a free Learn to Row course on Sunday mornings at 7am.
Retired Hunter Valley Grammar School coach Peter Bond instructs participants as club coach.
The club will also host a cocktail party on the October long weekend during the Henley on Hunter Regatta.
