What’s Happening

Where are we going?

Gins Farm Beaulieu

This Rally is being organised by Yateley Offshore Sailing Club (YOSC). They have provisionally booked 10 berths with Royal Southampton Yacht Club at Gins Farm. Boat details of those attending this Rally need to be submitted no later than Sunday 2nd September.

What are the plans for dinner?

We have booked the restaurant at the Royal Southampton Yacht Club, Gins Farm, Beaulieu.

There are two options for dinner, either a set dinner where you pre-order your menu selections no later than Wednesday the 12th August. We need a minimum of 20 people for this option or a BBQ we need a minimum of 25 people for this option. Please can you let the YOSC Commodore know your preference, his email address is commodore@yosc.org.uk.

The YOSC Commodore will then let everyone who has registered for this event which is the most popular and hence the option selected.

The detailed menus for both of these options are shown in the Restaurant section below.

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.

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 Marina and Restaurant. We’ll update you when we know more, which should be pretty soon.
