Here’s one for the diary, our annual Good Friday picnic on Mud Island, all welcome. It’s a fun, social occasion and it would be terrific to see lots of our Powerboaties and Yachties there.

Meeting at the Rock around 10 am for a 10.15 departure, returning to the club around 3 pm. The flotilla will travel to, and anchor just off Mud Island, with a RIB ferry service taking everyone ashore.

• What to bring? BYO PDF, a picnic lunch and picnic rug, an old pair of runners, warm clothing, drinks, hat, sunscreen etc.
• Don’t have a ride? We’ll match you up with a boat.

Celebrate the 13th Easter Art Show>

Once again we will showcase an incredible range of artistic works in a variety of media, with sculptures continuing to add an extra dimension to the show that was very well received in previous years.

The Art Show is not possible without a dedicated team of volunteers coordinating the Art Show and BYS members are appreciative of their efforts.  Importantly, we would also like to extend a big thank you to all our previous and current Easter Art Show sponsors and supporters, as their support provides us with everything from artist prize money to fabulous auction items for our silent auction.
