Rob was a passionate member and enthused new members to join, he purchased one of the red chairs in the members bar which bears his name. Rob served on the events committee for many years.

One of Rob’s four sons (Robert Junior) has invited members to join him and Rob’s family in the members bar after the MWM race on 28 April to celebrate his life.

RMYS Social Golf Day
|
|
|
After missing out last year due to the dreaded Covid, we held the 16th annual RMYS golf day once again at Albert Park golf course.
|
We had 20 players this year which included friends and family, however, it would be nice to have seen more members so hopefully we can get some of those members with golf clubs collecting dust to come out and have a hit next year. We also missed some of our regulars who couldn’t attend so hopefully we’ll see John, Heath and Mick McGill and Pete Woollard next year.

Millennial Mixer 2021
|
|
A new initiative is coming to RMYS and we're throwing a party to celebrate.
|
The yet to be named committee targeted for members under 35 is due for launch on May 7th. To really get this thing started we are having a party in the Olympic Bar from 6:30pm till late with decent music, an alcoholic slushy machine and avocado on toast. This should be a great opportunity to bring along your non member friends who have been wanting to check out the venue and for you to get to know some of the other "younger" members.
|
Okay Boomers, we hear you too. If you're young at heart rather than on paper you can still come along and enjoy the fun!
