The club had an annual picnic at the beach, usually Mornington.

In the photo, Beryl Maher and Lola Young take a crop of South Hawthorn juniors to the beach in 1971including the Rosmans, Mahers and???  Dave Youl used to take his boat for water skiing. He took very good care of the boat, but one year someone knocked the ladder into the water. Bruce Taylor came to the rescue and threw the anchor overboard so the ladder could be retrieved. The trouble was the anchor wasn’t tied off, so that had to be retrieved as well.
