RMYS Presentation Night - A Huge Party!

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.

There was a huge range of winners on the night - see the full list here. The most coveted Centenary Trophy was awarded to the crew of Ellipse. Lots of members danced the night away after the presentation to the awesome sound of The Liaisons.

RMYS also raised almost $5000 from the raffle and auction, with the money going towards the purchase of a new safety and race RIB. Thank you to all those who bought tickets and who bid on the auction, and congratulations to the winners:
