theme parties, costume parties, balls, cocktail
parties, private parties... Parties at the Point Bar Committees - The member committee

Volunteering - One of the best ways to
meet people at CRYC is to get involved. There
are many opportunities to help the Club even if
you're not on a standing or other committee.
The three organizations - Auxiliary, Anc'Hers
and Captains' Club – all have numerous chances
to assist in a variety of ways. Occasionally
during the year, special interest committees are
formed to explore limited issues so you might
have the chance to serve on one of these. If you
have an interest or talent that you'd like to share,
let the Commodores, Governors, staff and fleet
officers, committee chairpersons, know about
it. The Club, the Board and committees are
always looking to improve and welcome
feedback, input and ideas. Don't hesitate to
submit any and all ideas you may have.
