Event Organisers required! Your club needs you !!
We need members to come forward to help organise events. So if you are able to assist with this event, with full support from the Committee please let Harry (vicecommodore@gaysailing.org.uk) know. Unfortunately, without an organiser, this event will not be able to go ahead.
This event is visible on the calendar with registration enabled but until an organiser comes forward, it could be cancelled.
The club is returning to the popular Folly Inn on the River Medina.
The Folly Inn is pretty much packed every Saturday through the season with Isle of Wight locals and visiting yacht crews. Table dancing has been an attraction there in the past but there are no recent reports it still takes place.
Note there is no shore power or water on the mid-river Folly pontoons. Those needing all the comforts of home will need to bring their own electricity!
Saturday 26th September
Meet at the Folly pontoons in the afternoon.
Skippers must call the Folly Berthing Master on VHF Chanel 72 on approach for berthing instructions.
We plan to book spaces on the walk ashore pontoon with a max 12m on the walk ashore. Remaining vessels, and those over 12m will be on the mid-river pontoons, which have a water taxi available during the pub opening hours at £3pp return.
Drinks on board at the walk ashore pontoon followed by dinner and dancing at the Folly though dancing is not actually compulsory.
Sunday 27th September
Head for home ports
