Social Scene Update

BYS Social Events
To all our wonderful members and guests who attended our Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron, Oaks Day Luncheon, we raised an incredible $4,500 for Mentis Assist.We thank the efforts & energy of the BYS Events Team who worked tirelessly raising much needed funds for this local charity.

Thank you to Yuki Davidson, Chair of the Ride for Relief / Mentis Assist who gratefully accepted our contribution; thank you to our BYS team, Jayne Mckenzie, Jura & Denis Liubinas, Ginny & John Thatcher, Kate McElwain and Ann & Adrian Cole (absent from the photo) and thanks to all the local business that supported the event with donations & raffles.

 

On Saturday 3 December, on the BYS deck, members Liam Batty and Patrick Singh, took part in the World’s Greatest Shave in support of the Leukemia Foundation.  The weather proved exceptional (for the shave as opposed to sailing) and quite a crowd gathered in anticipation.  Member Mitch Harding played ad hoc MC (and barber) for the event, encouraging folks to contribute that little extra in support of a deserving cause.

The boys managed to raise over $7K – with BYS members and staff showing their generosity.  The donation link is still open until Saturday – so if you would like to add your donation, please do!
