A few snippets gleaned from Ed Wheeler's Pictorial History of the Club.
1919 - The Club was attempting to resume a semblance of pre-war activities. The Minutes show good co-operation with the Ballyholme Sailing Club (not yet Ballyholme Yacht Club) in the matter of starting guns, co-ordination of fixtures etc. This is Ballyholme YC's Centenary Year - long may the good co-operation contiunue!
Our Bar Convenor, Tom Bell, has put together a lovely selection of Bin End Special wines, including one of the Fine and Rare range. Be quick, becasue when they're gone they're gone !

Snooker Convenor Stephen Smith has written a report of this year's competitions and this and the results are posted in the Snooker section of Club Activities. You can read the full report using the link below:
Fantastic achievement on Tuesday by Club member and former Honorary Secretary Tony Weston in partnership with fellow "Donaghadee Chunky Dunker" Martin Strain. Dropped off by the RUYC rescue RIB in Chapel Bay Copeland Island they swam to Donaghadee Harbour in 1 hour 16 minutes (No wetsuits). They set off roughly due West until the SE stream carried them down to their destination. The RIB, crewed by Martin's wife Kathryn, David Meeke and Bob Torrens shadowed them on the way across.
They will be making a donation to Marie Curie Cancer Care. The RUYC Facebook page will shortly be posting a link for members who would like to make a small gesture in honour of their courage.
