Newly Weds Celebrate Their Nuptials With RSL ‘Family’

Ross Carruthers, Tin Can Bay RSL

Tin Can Bay RSL was recently the venue for what locals have called “the wedding of the decade”, the marriage of Peter and Bobbie Gilfoyle.  RSL stalwarts Peter and Bobbie celebrated the occasion in style surrounded by family and friends, many of whom were RSL members.

The wedding ceremony was conducted in perfect conditions under the trees behind the RSL Hall, with the sparkling waters of Tin Can Bay in the background.

The celebrations then moved seamlessly to the RSL facilities for the wedding reception where a delicious three course spread was prepared and served by RSL volunteers lead by Viv Holland.

As Bobbie said, “It was a great day that Peter and I really enjoyed, but it was the volunteers from the RSL that really made it special, especially Viv.”

Viv said that she was pleased to help make the wedding special. “They are my friends who have stood by me for all the years I’ve been here.  I’m so glad they had such a wonderful wedding.”

Mike and Chrissie, who perform under the tag “Just Us”, and are also RSL volunteers, provided tremendous musical entertainment to take the wedding to the next level of enjoyment for everyone who attended.

Mike said, “We are all part of the RSL family here in Tin Can Bay.  We’re happy to be able to help out such brilliant people as Peter and Bobbie on their special day.”

Well we appreciate your efforts Viv, Mike, Chrissie and team. Thank you for your service!
