Cruising First Friday - "The Cosmos"
Friday 3 October
Join your fellow cruising community for a wonderful meal and presentation by Murray Glase.
Murray is an actuary, former board member of RPAYC, light opera singer and the closest person that the Cruising Division has to an intellectual.
Murray is also an amateur astronomer and has volunteered to explain to us what we are looking at when we are lying on the decks of our boats on balmy summer evenings, or looking up at the stars on some overnight passage. He will explain how to easily locate in the night sky planets. Stars and Galaxies.
By the end of his presentation and Murray’s novel practical demonstration of Cosmological scale, you will very likely feel a real sense of awe and wonder about the staggering and barely comprehensible size of the Cosmos in which you live.
Book a table with your friends to catch up or just book and we will allocate you a seat.
On the night: Join fellow members for pre-drinks from 5:30pm – dine from the Halyard’s Bistro menu.
Terms & Conditions:
Bookings close 1 October at 5pm, COB.
Contact Reception on 9998 3700 with questions.
