Autumn 2020 Sailing Rallies

Because of Covid limitations, these are being held as informal gatherings determined by interest of boat skippers.

• 5th September at East Head, Chichester. Anchoring overnight and beach barbeque.  5 GXSA boats came to the anchorage but only 3 intrepid crews went ashore for the beach barbeque. It was warmer than it looks in the picture...

Additional rallies will have to comply with new Covid restrictions (from 13th September) limiting meetings to groups of 6 people. We will try to keep GXSA boat owners informed about possibilities for such informal opportunities to meet up.

Saturday 29th February 2020 - Bus trip to SS Great Britain, Bristol

30 members attended and we mostly dodged the heavy showers !  This was an excellent day out with just the right amount to see in the time we had there. 

The bus left the Gerrards Cross Memorial Centre at 0830 arriving about 1115. We had a nice introduction inside the dry dock from Museum staff and mostly went round the exhibition and ship  before lunch.  After lunch we visited the Brunel museum and went round the ship again.  We left at 1530 and were back by 1815. Cost of the trip (£34) included entry to the SS Great Britain.
