Lions, Dockers & a Little Kylie Magic
The Members Bar was at full capacity last Friday night as AFL Grand Final fever swept through RBYC, with happy hour flowing and complimentary meat pies disappearing fast, setting the scene for the big weekend. Two fantastic door prizes added to the excitement: a huge meat tray generously provided by our new catering managers Marco and Paul, plus an AFL Sherrin signed by RBYC’s own AFL heroes Paul Dimattina and Brownlow Medallist Gerard Healy. Pat Proper came away the big winner, taking home the prized Sherrin, while the meat tray kept plenty of members crossing their fingers. Saturday brought Kylie Minogue and the Grand Final action to the Members Bar on the big screen, providing a welcome escape from the weather outside and rounding out a brilliant weekend of footy at RBYC!
