Parky goes Pink

By Chris Hewitt

Parky goes Pink - Saturday 2nd March - Sunday 3rd March 2024

This is going to be a massive event @ Parkdale Yacht Club so get your diaries out and block out the weekend of Saturday March 2nd and Sunday March 3rd as Parky goes Pink to fundraise for breast cancer research!

There will be something for everyone. The fun starts at 10am Saturday with aΒ 12 hour sailing marathon getting underway and while the sailors are out on the water doing their stuff we will be holding a pink luncheon upstairs from 11am to 3 pm with a guest speaker and some amazing prizes up for auction. Then as evening hitsΒ the sailors will turn on their lights and keep navigating whileΒ we get the Trivia night underwayΒ from 7pm to 9.30pm. Followed by a sensational DJ party on the balcony till 11.30pm as we watch the exhausted sailors complete racingΒ at 10pm and join us for a drink to celebrate.

Sailors, start by getting your teams of up to 10 together for a marathon 12 hour sail and then get your families, friends andΒ workmates to dig deep into their pockets andΒ sponsor youΒ or make a donation becauseΒ the team who raises the most money winsΒ ?

On Sunday the 3rd March we will rely on the generosity of our members to get their sailing craft on the waterΒ for aΒ "come and try sailing" morning especially for those touched in some way by breast cancer including nursing staff. Our Summer Sunday Live Music will start earlier at 2pm with a gold coin donation and then presentation & prizes for our marathon competitors will be held at 3 pm. Phew! That's a big weekend! Let's make this happen!

Please see Parkdale Yacht Club's website for all details and to purchase tickets to the events!
