Presentation night is closing in pretty quickly so make sure you circle the date in your diaries – Saturday 28 May. Awards, food, celebrations, and reflections on the season’s races, that amazing lift and how much better we are at sailing than a year ago. Thinking of selling your boat and upgrading to a new one? A change of class? Lots to talk about. 
Time: Doors open 6pm, dinner at 7pm
Tickets: members & guests - adults $20, family $50 More details on the website.

First Friday of the month - 3 June

Come and join in the last Friday Night of food, music and bar open before we take a break for the colder winter months. We will be serving a variety of Mexican food and will make sure we get some music happening for the evening. The weather will be getting colder, so we will have the heaters on and the room warmed up. We will aim to organise some board games to provide some entertainment.

Save the date - Sat 20 August

Progressive Dinner - All Williamstown Sailing and Boating Clubs Saturday 20 August
We have been invited to be involved in a progressive dinner involving Royal Yacht Club of Victoria, Hobsons Bay Yacht Club, the Royal Motor Yacht Squadron and WSC. Initial plans are drinks and appetisers at WSC, entrees at Hobsons Bay, main course at Motor Squadron and desserts and dancing at Royals. Each club will be allocated about 40 tickets for their members, prices are not set as yet. We will keep you informed when arrangements are finalised. It should be a great night and a wonderful opportunity to mingle with the other clubs.

Event wrap up - Friday night 6 May

About 50 members and friends made the most of the lovely mild weather at the club on Friday night on 6 May. There were quite a few kids having great fun challenging each other on the foozball, table tennis and quoits. It has been great to see so many families coming to the club over the last few months and making the most of the location and activities available. The lasagne, garlic bread and pot of spaghetti bolognaise sold out to satisfied customers. Thanks to those who helped out during the night with cooking, serving and cleaning up. Local group Folkus provided some toe tapping background music and kept those sitting inside well entertained.

Winter working bees

Working bees start on Saturday 4 June and I hope you’re all getting excited! Working bees are a fantastic way to give back to the club whilst enjoying the camaraderie of your fellow members, making new friends and showing off your skills!

The success of our working bee program relies on many members putting in some effort during the winter months. Whatever your skills and experience, or lack of, please make sure you come to the club and give a hand in some way at a few of the working bees. Many hands make light work.

There will be plenty of projects both inside and outside the clubhouse so irrespective of the weather there will be lots to do. This winter’s efforts will include adding bumpers to the floating pontoons, annual mooring maintenance and decking repairs. Sprucing up the Clubhouse with some new timber and lots of painting is high on this year’s to-do list. If you can’t make it on Saturdays, but are available at times during the week, let me on 0412 241 980 and I’ll find some jobs to suit!
