2023 SoPYC 20 Year Member’s Dinner

The annual dinner to celebrate milestone commitments from long serving members of our club was attended by over 100 members and guests on Friday 8th September.

This is an opportunity for us as a club to acknowledge and celebrate that commitment from those members who have remained a member of the club continuously for 20, 30, 40, 50 and even 60 years.

A myriad of office and F&B staff, prepared for the evening and created a very warm atmosphere in the Ballroom. Guests were welcomed at the door and the evening started with some light refreshments and an enjoyable prelude of catch-up amongst members and friends before being seated for the evening meal.

A short speech from our Commodore, Troy Dalglish, followed by badge presentations to those milestone members attending, rounded up the formal part of the evening, allowing the focus for the night to remain on those VIP members and a night of enjoyable camaraderie.

Special thanks to our Membership Liaison Officer, Nicole Taylor for heading up the planning and execution of a very enjoyable evening, as well as our kitchen staff for a well-prepared meal worthy of an important evening and the F&B staff for their outstanding service.

The biggest accolade for the evening of course, our VIP members and their ongoing commitment to the club:
