The “BIG” Weekend

The RSAYS’s House and Social Committee and the Cruising Committee are excited to announce a new initiative, “The Big Weekend”. This big weekend is on Friday 21st, Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd March. We encourage you all to join us at the club for the full weekend if possible. There are an extensive range of fun activities scheduled, and we invite you to join us in all of them or just pick individual ones that you can manage.

We would like as many members as possible to participate in the weekend by sleeping on their boats, caravans, and RVs on Friday and Saturday nights. The club has permitted RV’s to be on-site for the weekend. We will be getting as many of your boats to berth as close to the clubhouse as possible via a “Village Green”.
