What’s Happening

Where are we going?

This Rally is going to the Visitors Pontoon at Folly Inn, which is located up the Medina River on the Isle of Wight. The pontoon is a “walk ashore pontoon” that connects to the shore.

What are the plans for dinner?

There are a few options for dinner on this Rally and the details will be made available shortly.

I expect there to be quite a strong demand for places. Please book early using the form below, to avoid disappointment. Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Book early to book your place in the queue. At this time, bookings are Provisional, and you can cancel at any time.

GXSA members that are logged-in to the website will get most of their details automatically transcribed from their Website Profile (if information is missing, you may want to update your profile, to reduce typing next time).

Information is trickling out of the organisers and the Restaurant. We’ll update you when we know more, which should be pretty soon.

Deadlines

Most of this is nearly resolved, but watch this space:

Marina

We have nominally reserved 10 berths.

We’ve decided to reserve:

• 3 berths for GXSA
• 3 berths for Yateley
• 3 berths for Cruising Association

The remaining berths will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.

Book your boat in using the form below, to get onto the list ! Deadline 08:00 Saturday 31st October

Make sure to indicate the total number of people in your crew, so we can allocate Restaurant places effectively.

Restaurant

We’re waiting on more news on exactly how the restaurant wants to manage food orders; probably selection from a set menu – this to be published in the near future.

Maximum number of diners is 25 people, so make sure to get yourself and your party onto the list, by completing the form, below.

Agenda

GXSA Regulars will know the proven format for the weekend:

• Find a friendly Skipper, with a boat
• Pontoon Party starts at 5:00pm. An opportunity to catch up with friends, and make new friends.
• Dinner starts at 7:30pm.
• The party continues until everyone’s exhausted
• Sunday morning sees a variety of potential activities – To Be Decided
• We could even turn it into a dinghy invasion fleet !!
• Departure for home around midday, Sunday
• It’s likely that some boats/skippers will extend the weekend beforehand, or afterwards – mostly to catch a fair tide up Southampton Water.

• Skippers – Please confirm your boat and plans by email. Who will be in your crew? Do you intend to join us Friday evening? Any other plans.
• No Boat? – Let us know if you’d like to come along: Use the web-form. We can usually find a kindly skipper who can offer you a berth.
