The RAEME Sunshine Coast crew is back on deck for our next get-together, and we’d love to see you there!

Our next gathering is scheduled for Sunday, 26 July 2026, our new venue is at the Brightwater Hotel, kicking off from 1200 hrs (midday).

These get-togethers have been extremely successful, with healthy turnouts of around 50 people at recent events. It’s always fantastic to catch up with friends and old mates, share a few stories, and welcome some new faces into the fold. If you haven’t been along before, this is a great opportunity to reconnect with the RAEME family in a relaxed and friendly setting.

We’ll also have a few lucky door prizes up for grabs on the day,  just a little extra incentive to come along and enjoy the company.

Please let us know if you’re able to attend, so we can confirm numbers and arrange the appropriate booking with the club.
