End of Season Annual Weymouth Cruise

Julian · 02 September 2003, 08:57

Morning All

Once again its time to start getting the numbers together for this annual event. The event has been part of the BIBOA calender for over 10 years now and gets bigger every year. We have moved the event to a slightly earlier date this year to try and get the best of the weather if thats possible. The event is now being run on the Saturday 4th October.

As usual we will meet in Yarmouth for lunch and several beers etc and then when ready depart for Weymouth where mooring will be arranged etc, We are again staying in the Crown Hotel as its nice and easy for everyone to meet. The usual meal is booked in the Yacht Club.

On the Sunday a meal is also booked at lunchtime in the Royal Dorset Yacht Club in Yarmouth for those who wish.

Numbers are allready comining in fast so if you would like me to book you a room and mooring please e-mail me ASAP or call me on either 01732 866553 or 07747033506.

Hi Ageing Youth

Great that you and Joyce can make the event. I will arrange a double room for you. Will you be attending both the Evening meal in Weymouth and the Sunday Lunch at the Royal Solent Yacht club in Yarmouth.

Is everyone going soft!!!!

Whats wrong with the end of October, traditionaly the event runs the same weekend as the last GP in Japan. I have no idea why, it just does.

The problem with early October is the equinox winds are still about. Of course, my objections are purley selfish because I am not around on the 4th and would love to attend the 13th annual Weymouth Bash!

How about the thirteenth, I am prebooked on the 4th but would love to go on the 13th

Julian · 09 September 2003, 09:48

Hi Alan

You must come to Weymouth, You have made it to everyone so far. I think the date changed as the hotel has functions booked through to the end of October etc.

Julian,

I'm committed to coming if it's 4th October, but I also would greatly prefer it at a later date. Any other hotels, perhaps ?

Julian · 09 September 2003, 10:17

Unfortunately we cant change the date now due to the fact that over 30 people have allready commited to the 4th October and they have allready paid for the event.

Julian

Alan Priddy · 09 September 2003, 11:32

Definatly cannot make the 4th. How about's we run two events this year? Anyone on for the 25th / 26th Oct.
Cannot make the 11th due to some old gits birthday and a long standing commitment on the 18th/19th only leaves the 25th /26th.
