Come Celebrate the Bicentenary of the Laying of the First Stone of the Harbour On 31 May 2017
2017-05-31 08:00 - 17:00 | Royal St George Yacht Club, Dun Laoghaire, Dublin, Dublin, A96 AY77, Ireland
The harbour are celebrating the Bicentenary of the laying of the first stone of the harbour on 31 May 2017
(Time to be decided) but location will be at the George IV monument overlooking the Carlisle Pier and the general harbour (first stone part of the monument)
As this is a Wednesday there probably will not be much activity and there will be further events during the year (calendar of events soon to be published)
However if it is the afternoon we thought there may be some Junior activity in the harbour and if so it might be good if they could do some kind of a parade of sail on the day
This is just a preliminary notice and I can be in touch again when the time is set to see if anything can be organised
(Of course this is not confined to Junior sailors!)

Friday Fun!
2017-06-09 18:00 | Royal St George Yacht Club, Dun Laoghaire, Dublin, Dublin, A96 AY77, Ireland
Friday Fun Day

We are delighted to announce Funday Fridays, the first of which will take place on 9th June from 6 p.m.
We have listened to your feedback and taken onboard that many Club members would like the opportunity to showcase their Club to their family and friends or work colleagues. While Saturdays and Thursdays are great opportunities for this your feedback was that with the racing taking place on those days for some it may not be the ideal time to bring guests to the Club and out sailing. Often on race days, people are rushed and the individual attention for guests can be overlooked in the hurry to get afloat.
The idea is to build Friday evenings into the family and friends day at the RSGYC. We want to provide Club activities in a fun and relaxed environment, where yourself and your fellow members can come down and enjoy summer’s evening at your Club. We will have something for everyone (see below) and we hope to make the Club your first port of call for fun and food on Fridays!

Please fill in THIS FORM to show us what you would be interested in taking part in!

Below is a Site Map of where the Activities will be taking place on the Day!
