School’s Out
On Friday 6 May people began to arrive in the early evening for drinks and canapés. With the easing of COVID restrictions people were free to move around to socialise and the house was buzzing. Promptly at 19:00 an Acknowledgement of Country was delivered with Adrian Wotton as MC for the evening. Adrian welcomed our guests and officials, Jacq Heffernan, CYCSA Commodore and Kaz Eaton, RSAYS Commodore, along with our sponsors, Jim Theodore of Port River Marine, Luke Burrow of Bravo Sails, Cherylee Harris on behalf of Phil Hoffmann Travel, Kate Wigan on behalf of Yalumba Wines and Nick Bice on behalf of George Family Winegrowers.
Robert Human (REX Chair) acknowledged the contribution of our Club volunteers on the duty boats. Our valued sponsors and volunteers, including Protest Chair, Lisa Bettcher, were presented with tokens of our gratitude for their service and support. Trophies and keepsakes were presented to participating skippers for Twilight, Winter and Summer Racing. Trophies that had previously been awarded were displayed on their tables. Prizes for the Ladies Helm of the Combined Women’s Series were presented by the Commodore of RSAYS, Kaz Eaton.

The food was excellent and well received. The menu started with the Chef’s selection of canapés followed by mains of Chicken Ballotine and Fillet Steak alternately served, with an expansive cheese board with sweet tartlets to finish.
Towards the end of the evening we drew the big raffle with two fantastic wines from our sponsors Yalumba, both magnums of ‘The Menzies’ Cabernet Sauvignon from the Coonawarra. Vern and JD added a couple of their True Wind Sailing Calculators to the mix. Well done and thank you to the staff, officials and racing members for another great evening.
