      June Bash, Monday, June 3, 2024

      The 2024 June Bash returned to the RCYC on the Island on Monday, June 3rd.  We were again lucky and enjoyed another lovely  early summer evening as we had at the very successful post-pandemic 2023 June Bash.

      a launch pass to the island;
      a veranda reception with hors d’oeuvres from 6 -7;
      followed by a fine dinner with wine in the ballroom.

      Peter Baines again arranged for a short tour of the RCYC’s island facilities conducted by RCYC Archivist and Curator, Beverley Darville.
