The wild weather on Saturday made it an obvious decision to abandon the Dalglish Family Trophy, Time Trial event.  It is tradition, that Frank Dalglish donates $100 prize money with his trophy. Keep it safe ‘til next year Frank. The strong squally weather fronts rolling in across the coast and up the river played havoc with all the on-water activities and Saturday, calming by Sunday, to allow for member’s social get togethers and leisurely lunches onboard, some down at Fishing Boat Harbour and others over in Matilda Bay.

Our Power Section Members have been busy and seen about the Club regularly supporting the weekly Chase the Ace draw on Thursday’s nights and more recently the enlivened Friday night Members draw and new Meat Raffle draw.  Congratulations to Gail Speedy, who’s lucky number was drawn on Friday for the Meat Pack. How amazed were the crowd when Fiona Lyons on 2 separate occasions, randomly picked out a member draw ticket, both times for Justin Taylor? Congratulations Justin winning the 2 $50 meal vouchers in the members draw.

The Power Section have missed out on a few events in the middle of season 2022. Let’s hope this Saturday the weather is perfect for our Ti Tu Invitation Time Trial event in memory of Frank Marchant, followed by our Kindred Clubs Bogan Band and dress up party.   Ticket sales are going gang busters for this event so dig out your flannies and trackies, your uggies and thongs and plan to either move it on in the ballroom to a live band and strut your best moves or check out the car display and fire pits on the front lawn.   Only $40 including tucker!  Struth now that’s good value!  And It’s not too late to grab tickets.

 Sat 6th August:  Maria and the Functions team have booked the fabulous international class DJ, Claire O’Shea aka DJ FADJ to spin hits from 70’s to the 90’s for the Dance Party themed Commodores Cocktail Party.  As is tradition, there is no Saturday Club competition on Commodores Ball weekend. For those super keen Time Trialling competitors, Perth Flying Squadron are holding their Cork Evans event on the Sunday morning followed by results and presentations of great prizes. This event score does not affect to your Club consistency score and is not a CPYA State Heat.
