Algoa Bay Yacht Club Pub Evening
Thanks to incredible support from members, the ABYC Pub Evening on Friday 9 November 2012 was a huge success. There was a wonderful party atmosphere throughout the evening and everyone enjoyed themselves. A huge thanks to all who helped to organise this event and assisted with the decorations, it could not have happened without you. However the key ingredient which assured the evenings success was the support of the members who attended. Without your support it would have been a flop.
It was interesting to note the number of non members who were there, let’s hope some of them will decide to join our family at ABYC.
