Centenary Celebrations

‍

In 2025 our Club will be turning 100! A century of boating and good times with Plimmerton deserves a lot of celebration and there’s lots to do.

From creating a book of the Club and Plimmerton’s history together, to a series of celebratory activities, there’s all sorts you can help with.

Outdoor and structural facilities

‍

Mother Nature ensures there’s ongoing work looking after and enhancing the Club assets that boats use as well as people: the Club grounds, buildings' exteriors, sheds and slipways etc.

From lawnmowing to plumbing, painting to seawalls – we’re keen to hear from helping hands, but especially from tradies or anyone with construction connections.  

Get in touch with:

• Matt Hipperson, Planning Officer
• Warren Coffey, Vice Commodore Sailing

‍

Indoor spaces and welcoming facilities

Looking after and enhancing the gathering spaces of the Club for socialising: from the stairs and bathrooms, to the main bar and dining areas.  

Always seeking connections, materials and volunteers with a sense for making spaces feel welcoming.

• Warren Coffey, Vice-Commodore Sailing
• Gayle Carmichael, Club Manager

Strategy and fundraising
