Social Activities and Protocol
Family Nights
On family nights, many of the families with kids enjoy the designated midweek evening for some sailing and camaraderie at the club. The evening begins with Optimists and Lasers rigging at hitting the water for informal sailing, and sometimes informal racing. The adults, in Lasers, accompany the kids, who sail a mix of Optis and Lasers with "kid friendly" radial rigs. Then the families join together for a pot luck supper on the patio, taking turns manning the grills.
If you would like to try out a Laser, this is a good time to try one with many members willing to share or loan their boats, especially after the family sailing is complete and those sailors head in for dinner. Please take advantage of this opportunity with boats rigged and ready to go combined with experienced Laser sailors willing to give you any instruction or assistance that you need. Contact John Fulghum or Philip Kersten if you are interested in this opportunity.
The Family Night participants welcome any and all families and individuals (with or without kids), so bring a salad, a side dish, a desert, and something for the grill and join in the fun. Boats hit the water between 4-5 pm, with dinner following in the 6-8 pm range.
Full Moon Parties
The full moon parties are “potluck” parties on the night of the full moon. Members bring a main dish, appetizer or dessert to share and the beverage they plan to drink. The club’s kitchen has paper and plastic goods and can be used to heat up an entrée. All attending are expected to also help clean up afterward. This is an adult party which starts at 7:00PM.
Special Dory Club Parties
Special Dory Club Parties such as the Opening party Special parties usually have a flier sent out prior to the party with details of the party. Some of these parties are potluck and others may have the man course provided by the Dory Club. The starting times vary but many start at 7:00PM. These are adult parties.
Other nights at the Club
Many members come to the club on other nights alone, with other members or with a few guests to have a cocktail, dinner, or a small party at one of the picnic tables or the table in the club house. They use the kitchen and the grill and clean up afterwards.
It is expected that all those attending will behave as they might at a restaurant with quiet talk which does not disturb the other members using the club. The club and patio are not to be used as a children’s club house, game room or play area.
In general, Fridays and Saturdays are considered adult theme nights especially after 6:00PM.
Guests
Generally social events at the club are for members only. If a member would like to bring a guest (significant other, friend, visiting relative, potential new member), this is generally allowed with the restriction of one guest per member.
Due to space and budget constraints some parties may be designated “members only” parties.
Larger private parties
Please see the Rules for Large Groups for ground rules.
