Upcoming events<br />
Friday buffet meals<br />
Come to the club on Fridays and enjoy the<br />
incredible value $15 buffet table with hot<br />
and cold dishes, salads and breads, and<br />
$2.50 dessert. It’s proving very popular<br />
on these long summer evenings, and is an<br />
ideal way to finish the week and watch the<br />
sunset from the deck.<br />
Friday night casual sailing<br />
Members of all sailing abilities can enjoy<br />
Friday night sailing, It’s more relaxed,<br />
with staggered starts, no spinnakers, and<br />
afterwards you can stagger to the club for<br />
a hot meal and drinks. It’s an opportunity<br />
to bring friends and family along for a<br />
casual sail. Every Friday, and the first<br />
group goes off at 1815hrs, subsequent<br />
groups play catch up to the finish line.<br />

after sailing and hot pies will be available.<br />
