The Guernsey Yacht Club celebrated its 120^th anniversary on 10^th September in a marquee on the balcony. Around 80 people attended all dressed up in dinner suits and gorgeous evening wear for the ladies.  The marquee looked fantastic, all decorated out in GYC burgee colours, white, red and yellow, with the same colours for the balloons with GYC printed on them. The chefs did an amazing job with the meat and seafood platter followed by traditional 1890’s puddings. They worked until midnight Thursday and then started at 5.00am on the Friday. It was very well done and looked stunning and tasted delicious. It was so professional and confirms the fact that we can certainly compete with the rest of the Island. Thank you Chefs.

 

Commodore, Gordon Wilson, thanked everyone involved in making the evening such a success and presented bouquets to Vanessa Mahy and Jane Dawson-Ball.

 

We then danced the night away and wondered were the time went to. It was a great evening which comes as no surprise given the expert work put in by Vanessa and all the crew, and to them: thank you, it looked and ran beautifully.
