Events at Highland Yacht Club
Highland Yacht Club Social Calendar
It’s hard to say what constitutes the highlight of Highland’s social calendar. That’s because the offerings are so varied and distinct. From the on water celebration of Sail Past which kicks off the boating season, to the Commodore’s Bash, Christmas kids’ party and toy drive, the many themed and costumed parties that occur almost monthly all the yearlong, weekly darts nights, and many more impromptu gatherings – Highland loves to come together and play. And why not? We have a shared passion for boating, a beautiful location, and many good friends among us both old and new.
Games Night: Darts, Cards and other Games, every Thursday night 7:30pm-9:30pm
Come out to HYC there’s darts and card games happening, or just come to hang out and catch up with fellow members.

Monday Movie Night at Highland
The hectic activities of the holidays are over and we settle into the months before we can get out on the water again.
To help pass the time we are starting a Monday Movie night, every other week.
The first show will be Monday January 19th and we will be showing "Gladiator" which won a total of 5 Oscars at the 73rd Academy Awards in 2001, including the prestigious Best Picture award and Best Actor for Russell Crowe, alongside wins for Costume Design, Sound, and Visual Effects. This movie runs 2.35
We will start the movie at 7pm but it would be great if you can come by around 6.30pm to chat about what movies you would like to see in the future.
We will be serving a pea and ham soup and some snacks. Please feel free to bring your favourite beverages as the bar will not be opened.
A response to Margaret Readings (mreadings001@gmail.com) of interest will help us plan for this first of hopefully, many movie evenings.
