RUYC 150-Year Celebrations – London-based Function for Outport Associates

The Club has provisionally agreed with the Royal Thames Yacht Club to hold a function on either Thursday 23^rd or Friday 24^th June 2016 at which Outport Associates can gather to celebrate the 150^th Anniversary of the formation of Royal Ulster Yacht Club. This would probably be for Lunch on whichever date shows the greatest response, but Dinner might also be considered.

Congratulations to Club Member Chris Hawthorne and the crew of Derry-Lodonderry-Doire who have  finished Leg 3 of the Clipper Race - Cape Town to Albany.  They crossed the finish line at 1732 hours local yesterday in second place.
