We are planning to hold this fun weekend over the bank holiday weekend, with the main organised event being on the Sunday based at Mudeford (mid way between Southampton and Poole)-hopefully to gain participation from boats based at as many locations as possible.
Some boats may be based or launched at either Mercury or Poole, or if able to use the fairly good slip at Mudeford (this slip is quite shallow and there is car and Trailer parking BUT the route out to sea (albeit short) is very shallow and difficult at low water (Springs on the w/e concerned)!
Attendance can be for the whole weekend or a part only.

The Plan is outlined as follows: but after speaking with Mercury, they cannot yet confirm whether they have any spaces for us overnight!-so there may be some alteration to the events!

Saturday 28 August

As the tour guide phrase goes "this is a relaxation day"!, anyone planning to make a weekend of it, can get on the water and choose their own agenda for the day. I am sure that there will be a few club members out and about on this day, so there will probably be the opportunity to link up and cruise in company. Let me know and I will send out a list of who is going planning to be around on which days.


Sunday 29 August

Meeting time at Mudeford will be mid morning. Boats based at Poole or Southampton will need to be ready to leave about 1 hour before the "to be confirmed" mid morning start of proceedings at Mudeford. Boats planning to come from other locations will need to let me know so I can arrange rendezvous points and times.
BBQ (bring your own food and disposable barbi's!)
The day will be exclusively about fun-ringos, water skiing and wake boarding (or for the more leisure based boater laughing at those trying to do the above!)


Monday 30 August

For those who still have limbs not to beaten from water skiing and ringo's there will be an easy cruise from Mercury to either Portsmouth or Cowes for an early lunch.



I would ask anyone interest to email or call me to express their interest as to the event and let me know whether they need a berth at Mercury. Also to let me know how many family members they may be bringing along.

As with any event of this type, we will be subject to the weather.

P.S I would very much appreciate assistance on the days with co-ordinating the launching at both Mercury and at Mudeford, plus some beach side co-ordinators on the Sunday to assist with the organisation of the BBQ and water toys-Volunteers please!
