Well over 200 guests crammed into the Harbour Room for a fantastic Trophy Presentation Night on Saturday 30 May. Club Captain Tom Ely ably led the proceedings, with Commodore Janet Dean presenting most of the trophies. We were lucky again to have Councillor Serge Thomann from City of Port Phillip in attendance to present trophies to the Juniors. It was also very pleasing to have representation from our kindred clubs RYCV, HBYC, RBYC and SYC. RYCV Commodore David Seaman delivered a delightful response to Janet's toast to kindred clubs. |
