The Annual RAQ Gold Coast lunch event, is set to take place at the Mermaid Beach AEME Surf Life Saving Club on Saturday, August 23, 2025. Sponsored by the Association, this gathering is a key part of the social calendar and offers a great opportunity for members and friends to come together, enjoy good food, and share stories by the beach.

All interested parties are encouraged to mark this date on their calendars, confirm their attendance by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots.

Although the club does not offer table service, attendees can purchase their own drinks and meals, which will be delivered to their tables by the club staff.

The lunch will begin at 12:00 PM and typically winds down around 4:00-5:00 PM. The club requests that guests vacate the verandah by 4:30-5:00 PM to prepare for the evening service, but those wishing to stay longer can continue to enjoy the club’s facilities.
