RUGBY – WALLABIES vs ALL BLACKS
The final Rugby game on the big screen at the Club will be on Saturday, September 11 at 8pm and will feature the Qantas Wallabies versus the All Blacks. “Footy” food will be available. 

GANTRY
The re-engineered gantry for The Duffy and the club RIB has been installed and is much stronger and safer than the old equipment.There are two complementary hoist controls – one remote and one pendant – and the Boatshed Committee is determining the best way to regulate the use of the controls.
Members wishing to use The Duffy should check with Jon Simonds (0418 207 320) on the whereabouts of the remote control and its application.
