Alfred’s Table to open in July The Friday Roast is Back!!
The service is scheduled to re-open in July. July 7th will be the
First Friday service as normal and it is hoped that Alfred’s Table
will be ready to provide the high standards that you have come
to expect from Friday 14 July. A-Arm Redevelopment
Due to a number of operational challenges, particularly with
regard to kitchen staffing, Alfred’s Table was suspended for the
month of June. This decision had not been taken lightly and we
apologise to the many members who support and enjoy Alfred’s
Table on a regular basis, however it was necessary in order to
ensure that we are able to provide a reliable and high quality
dining experience and to best look after the welfare of our staff.
Birthday vouchers, will be honored in Halyards for the period of
the closure and may be extended through to the end of August
to enable those with the vouchers to use them.
Boatyard Bookings
The Friday Roast is back on the menu! Warm up in Hal-
yards with a delicous roast.

ment works on ‘A’ arm have commenced.
At present the old marina arm has been removed with

services wharf.

History Book Update
As many members will be aware, renowned maritime
writer Bruce Stannard continues to work on the update of
the Club’s history book.
Bruce has been in touch with many members who have
been interviewed and contributed to the information
collected. Thank you to those members who gave their
time and if Bruce contacts others, we would be grateful for
you to spare him some time.
Bill Ebsary along with other members of the Archives
Committee is leading the charge on this very important
project. The material will include all events leading up
to the Club’s Sesquicentennial celebrations and I’m sure
all members will look forward to reading it upon its
completion.
