SOCIAL ASSOCIATION UPDATE

KID’S

HO HO HO and the big fella did not disappoint. Father Christmas once again stole the show with his presence and wonderful gifts for the 38 children who attended the 2019 Christmas Party. The weather unfortunately was not kind to us and a brilliant decision to take it indoors paid off. The children and their families were entertained by Mr Oopy with games and dancing. The brave ventured outdoors to the lawned area for an enormous bubble display. Many children returned slightly wet from the bubbles but very excited by the unequivocally spectacular performance by Mr Oopy. Father Christmas was not able to arrive by his usual mode of transport to the CYCSA due to the weather conditions so the Social Association held a discussion with the reindeers and he was dropped off at the Club’s front door. Once Father Christmas had delivered each child’s gift he was away quickly to avoid the reindeers taking up too much space in the car park. Lunch was served to the children with no-one leaving hungry. Well done to the Social Association who once again organised the event. Thanks also to the very generous Smyth Confectionery for the donation of the Christmas lollies.

Oh what a night! The weather was kind to us for this wonderful evening event which was held on Saturday 14 December out in the BBQ area at the Club. Social Association committee members set up a brightly decorated area with tables and decorations that were greatly appreciated by all the members and their guests who were in attendance. Good food and great company were the ingredients that created a vibrant night for all. A bonus was the free raffles and this created great excitement in anticipation of who would win. Christmas cheer and a general appreciation of each other’s sailing stories were hot topics for the night and it was a great way to wrap up 2019!
