Finally, after a three-year Covid hiatus, the 2023 June Bash on Monday, June 5th returned to the RCYC on the Island. Event tickets @ $125 per person included a launch pass to the Island, a reception, hors d’oeuvres, and a fine dinner, including wine. The reception began at 6:00 pm. A short tour of the RCYC’s Island facilities was arranged by Peter Baines that began at 5:30pm and was conducted by the RCYC Curator and Archivist, Beverley Darville.
The evening was a great success with 77 attendees on a lovely early summer evening. Canapes & drinks on the upstairs verandah after a great tour of the RCYC buildings and historical memorabilia. (The Whiff made a donation on behalf of members to the RCYC’s Archive Acquisition Fund in appreciation for the tours.) A lovely dinner in the Ballroom with introductions of first time guests and a tribute to the outgoing Junta, was capped off with a great sunset view of the city.
A special pamphlet was prepared and distributed on the tables. A copy of it can be downloaded from here.
