Dear Member 27th November 2009
As the year-end draws near and Christmas rapidly approaches, I take this opportunity to bring you up-to-date with current activities at the RCIYC.
Firstly and on a very sad note, I have to report that our recently retired Rear Commodore Richard Corcoran passed away at his home in Canada to where he had moved from Guernsey earlier this year. On behalf of everyone at the Royal Channel Islands Yacht Club, I have written to Richard’s wife Theresa and his family expressing our sincere condolences.
Socially, our Friday evening Meat Draw regularly brings in a great crowd – sometimes up to 50 or 60 members and friends. If you are not part of this yet, why not call in and join us at the club?
Similarly, your Vice Commodore Enzo Diacono continues to organise the popular Curry, Pasta and sometimes Thai lunches on Wednesdays – check the board or ring the office to enquire about dates. Despite a recent motorcycle accident, causing some considerable injuries, Enzo still intends to continue the lunches throughout the winter months - well done Enzo!
Still to come this year is the Christmas Party at the club on Friday 18th December and the Christmas Draw at 1230 on Thursday 24th December – yes, Christmas Eve - again at the club.
In the New Year, commencing 1st January, we have Ladies Day starting at 1230 – usually a great turnout (Michael and myself are the only men allowed to be present!).
The Dinner Dance and Prizegiving evening is on Saturday 30th January, at a new venue this time, the Farm House. The menu and details are enclosed and I do hope that you are able to join us for this important annual occasion.
