Club Outing A very successful outing to Williamstown took place in May. Sixteen Boats participated and keen competition in various sporting and intellectual contests resulted in prizes for all. The prospects of forming a golfing section of the club has clearly become more realistic. The evening concluded with a very enjoyable bar-b-que and the usual festivities, the entire event being ably organised by Lynch Event Management. |
