Social Association

The boating experience is only half the appeal of belonging to the Cruising Yacht Club of South Australia.

We are rightly proud of our sailing heritage at the CYCSA, but just like its racing calendar, the Club has an equally rich and varied program of social events.

The Club has a Social Association whose aim is to arrange social functions at the Clubhouse that appeal to all members of the Club. These functions are a fantastic way for new members to meet other members and get involved socially.

For a small annual subscription members participate in most activities at no further cost.

The FA run an annual fishing competition with trophies awarded to each category. Winners are acknowledged with their trophies at an end of the year gathering. One of the rules of the competitions is that members are required to supply a photograph with their fish and details of their catch as verification. This makes interesting viewing for competitive members when uploaded on the Club’s website.

The Fishing Association provides a large freezer for association members to store bait at the Club. Advice and assistance with boating and fishing related matters are always available from the Club’s fishing community via the FA committee. The Fishing Association committee is elected annually and welcomes interest and participation from all Club members.

Regular functions include our Italian Night, the Children’s Christmas Party and a great end of year Christmas Bash involving all the Associations at the Club.

There is also our Commodore’s Dinner, a more formal occasion which has a history of being a lavish and spectacular affair.

Other events pop up during the year depending upon the interest of Club members and often at the suggestion of members which gives everyone an opportunity to be involved.
