Is there anywhere local to Calshot to securely leave the boat overnight, for instance?

Speak with Chris Moody he keeps his there and sure if he can arrange a place to help. It is a very large area used by sailing schools, clubs, RNLI, Activity Centre.
The slip is fairly large concrete to my memory.

Camping facilities also available,

Calshot Outdoor Activities Centre has secure boat storage as well as a slipway. If you phone them up you can book your boat in for the whole weekend. You can also book a caravan, motorhome or camping pitch if required.

Chris, that's great, thank you; I'll get in touch with them tomorrow.

In the meantime, accommodation booked in Fawley for three nights 27-29th so we'll be out playing on the Saturday too, weather permitting.

No way dude, you have to be a member to camp there and the waiting list is years long

Sorry but there's no camping at Calshot Activity Centre. There is a small site around the corner that can take a caravan or two but thats it.

We have free camping at the folly though

Starovich · 11 February 2014, 22:18

Having just spoken to swmbo, we can offer 2 rooms B&B over the weekend of the event. In return you can donate monies to the macmillan pot. We are in sholing about 10-15 mins from hamble/crosshouse keys and southampton drystack.we can look in to where to leave the boats (maybe hamble or drystack would be possible?).
If anyone is intersted pls send me a PM.

whisper · 11 February 2014, 22:22

SDS is a very ribnet friendly Drystack we could try them?

Sorry I was wrong about camping, didn't realise it was members only. Should be plenty of b&b's or pubs with rooms nearby.

Got into the Walcot House in Fawley for 3 nights but get in quick coz there's at least one other 'nobbur and family booked in for the weekend already...

Me plus the Leader of the Opposition for curry on Sat night too please Alex

lakelandterrier · 12 February 2014, 22:19

So what's the Sat Mc-Curry numbers looking like?
My count - if correct so far is:
Whisper (of course)
Matt H (naturally)
Nugent
Lakeland Terrier, Mrs T, & 2 pups
Barrowboy & Boss
Mr. Moody
Biffer
Jizm
12 so far...do we need to reserve at table or 2?

jumpinjack · 12 February 2014, 22:23

I intend currying (and boating)... hopefully +1 for curry.

whisper · 12 February 2014, 22:31

Booked a table on Sat 28th June for 25-30 people, they can take up to 40 but even with 25 people we may need to pay a deposit of £5 per head closer to the time

lakelandterrier · 13 February 2014, 12:36

Thanks, Alex

Hi

Just got a couple of people to make donations.

A great idea to have the Just giving link set up nice and early Whisper !.

Will keep pushing over the next couple of months. Will we beat last years total ??. Hope so.

Yes mate. B&B in Fawley for me an' 'er on Fri, Sat, Sun night and the boat booked into Calshot Activity Centre on same nights.

We could get us a Convoy, 10-4 rubber duck, especially if Mr Caton's well enough to join us. We're travelling down on Friday and back on Monday.

I can't remember the name of the B&B but Lakeland Terrier's staying there too with his family
