RYLA 2026 Last Tuesday members and guests were treated to fantastic presentations from RYLA 2026 attendees at our meeting at Remuera Golf course. The evening was lead by members of our clubs youth committee.
After our meal, we heard from attendees talking about their particular experiences through the week and in particular the unknown, not knowing anyone, being thrust into groups of strangers who became friends. Being plucked from comfort zones to discomfort. Learning how to function without sleep. Learning first hand about leadership and what that means in real time. Resilience was a wod that featured. Highlights other than the island were the Social Enterprise Day and the Community day both of which demonstrated the impact of small actions. Lessons were learned about empathy inclusion, adaptability and the positive effect of good leadership. The above is only a snapshot of what we heard. The underlying theme was one of testing oneself, resilience adaptability and making the best of one's circumstances. It never ceases to amaze how we as a club are continually able to identify and send to RYLA the great candidates we do.
A great evening was had by all.
