A BBQ and Picnic will be available after the race. Please bring folding chairs, (and tables if possible).
Street address: Corner of Wareemba Place and Turriell Bay road, use inclinator to boatshed.
 This year the theme will be your choice, but we hope to hear some moving Anzac stories.
It could be a poem, it could be a story, It could be good old Australian food prepared in the Anzac way.
 There is bound to be a few rounds of two up sometime during the day.
As well as the bottle entry for the Broadwater Classic, a bottle will be required from each couple not participating with a presentation.

The best performances will receive a prize (guess what)?

Comments from the day
OH My you have done it again, John What a GREAT Day.
Thank You to John and Margaret for opening up their Broadwater Yacht Club to over 60 people. The Yacht race was “slow” but a magnificent sight from the shore. The land entertainment was the BEST so thank-you to all of you who participated and EXTRA Special thanks to the BAND which made the afternoon so enjoyable. From the Captain and Crew of Possible Dream.
The Band
Consisted of 3 guitar players, Andy Chilton, Steve Chilton and Brian Etherington also the singer and at short notice Dave crew on Inception.
We appreciate the band breaking a busy schedule playing at many charity outings including the Woolooware Shores retirement village, and a number of gigs at The Southern Antique Centre at Kogarah. The band was the glue that brought it all together.
Contributions
Libby Teiffel produced the song sheets which made sure everybody could join the singing, and how we did?
We had many performances from the audience ranging from stories, poems, trivia, songs and a well considered contribution from Tony Parker.
When you (click here) on the pictures above, you can see a broad smiles on all the faces, so I suppose we did well?
Many thanks, to all that helped with chairs and tables and I have to say followed the mooring instructions.
I estimate that we had in excess of 70 attending.
The Master (retired)
SMS - Hi John, just wanted to say thanks again to you and Margaret for a great Australia Day .
We really appreciate all the trouble you went to and we had a great time. David (and all the YKNOT crew).
SMS - Thank you John for arranging a great day for us all, and please pass on our thanks to Margaret also. There is a very nice spirit within the sailing division and we are enjoying getting to know everyone. David and Mary Cartmer.
email - Dear John Thanks once again for hosting the club members Australia Day gathering. As with your organisation of the Sailing Comps it could not be bettered. Regards Tony Parker
Any more?
