Summer stars shine bright at prize giving

Great scenes at the RNZYS Picnic

The annual 36 Degrees Brokers Squadron Picnic was held on Sunday 18th May on what was a beautiful, but slightly nippy day on Motuihe Island. The temperatures didn’t put off plenty of RNZYS Members, young and old, from voyaging across the Gulf to the island. On offer were sandwiches and drinks to keep the attendees well fed and hydrated. There was a really good turnout of kids, making the tug-of-war, running races, egg & spoon races and other games a lot of fun, and there were a host of great prizes for the successful little ones. Commodore Aaron Young and the great team from 36 Degrees Brokers were on hand to give out the loot at the prizegiving, capping off another successful Squadron outing at Motuihe.
