I’ve been coming to RMYC for parties, dinners, cruises and just hanging around the pool for over 50 years. But I just had to leave this review to say thank you for the amazing work the club did recently hosting the memorial service for my father, an RMYC life member. The food, drinks, IT support and set up were flawless and ensured we had a very special day. Special thank you to Fiona, events manager for your fabulous work. The club is currently in the midst of a massive building project, so doesn’t look its best right now, but when complete it will finally give RMYC the space, and the views over the car park to Pittwater it’s always lacked.
