During the 1980s and onwards, on the instigation of Margaret Matthews and then continued by Pat Dillon, the ladies held their own annual ‘outing’, each January. This consisted of a bus tour of the craft and arts centres of the Peninsula, including lunch. Naturally this left some deserted husbands (otherwise sailors) ‘grounded’ and left to attend to kids and other domestic duties, but it seems to have been accepted happily.

During the ‘80s also regular tennis tournaments were arranged during the summer holidays by Helen Mc-Gee, Barbara Robinson and others. These provided an opportunity for members with skills and interests other than sailing to enjoy the social scene. When these were held at the McGee ‘Tennis Stadium’, there was additional fun in avoiding the teams of ‘jumping jacks’, bull ants, etc.

In 1983 a bush dance at Red Hill showground hall topped the peak of popularity of such events. With the help of the ‘Blue Gum Bush Band’ and some borrowed gang show props this event attracted nearly 200 enthusiastic yachties and families dressed in appropriate gear, with hay bails for seating. An appropriate bush supper including damper was served on a rustic wheelbarrow (from fiddler Eric McGee).
