Experiences
We are proud to have connections with Rob Pennicott, who generously supports our club by offering September cruises to Betsey Island from Dru Point, Margate. Guided by Rotarian Rob Pennicott, these personal and shortened tours are a highlight. Participants often say it's "a most enjoyable Saturday outing" during the Father’s Day weekend.
Dru Point, Margate, holds a special place in our community. It’s a family-friendly area featuring:
- BBQ facilities
- Open fields for sports
- Playgrounds for all ages and abilities
- Pleasant walking tracks, including dog-friendly areas
- A kids' bike track complete with traffic lights
The café, open until 3 pm, adds to the charm. We also host our two annual **Mega Markets** at Dru Point, making it a hub for local activities and gatherings.
