The Solstice Celebration - The Dinner
This years event will be similar to last year's event ... a pot luck dinner where you provide your own grill item and beverage, and bring a dish to share.
Plan to arrive at the Clubhouse around 4:00 PM on Saturday, June 19 - racing awards will be presented starting at that time (roughly) and social hour will commence from that point on.
RYC will provide two grills for your grilling pleasure, and some limited setups.
