Newtown Creek Beach Barbecue Rally

Newtown Creek Beach Barbecue Rally

Saturday 27th June – Sunday 28th June

Overview

Simon T has kindly agreed to lead this weekend beach barbecue rally to Newtown Creek. If you need to contact him, use the S&CA South Coast WhatsApp group where discussions on this event can take place.  Otherwise email commodore@gaysailing.co.uk and I'll put you in touch.

Bring your own food, BBQ equipment and tender for the trip to the beach for the evening BBQ at Newtown Creek.  It is best to arrive early at Newtown Creek from 3pm, by which time the lunchtime visitors will hopefully have started to leave, to get a mooring buoy which are available on a first come, first served basis.  The Newtown Creek area is National Trust and there is a charge dependent on boat length for use of the mooring buoys.

Anchoring in Newtown Creek is possible but you must only anchor in the main navigable channel and the lower pool. 

Itinerary

Saturday 27th June 

• Sail to Newtown Creek and pick up a buoy for which there are charges or anchor in Newtown Creek.
• Evening BBQ on the beach.

Sunday 28th June

• Return to home ports. 

Additional Notes

• Crew: please use the WhatsApp S&CA South Coast community to arrange any crewing opportunities and arrange it before signing up to the event.  Please include the boat you're sailing on when you book on the event.

Notes for Skippers:
Newtown Creek can get busy in the summer so get there early.  There is an alternative anchorage outside Newtown Creek where we've previously held barbecues on the beach should the main Newtown Creek area fill up.
