Plans are afoot for another Medway Rally to be held on the 11th and 12th of August 2006. Last year's rally was a huge succsess, so thanks again to Paul Woolley for organising it and everyone else for turning up. The format will be very similer to last year so the idea is to meet up on Friday the 30th. Free berths will be available in the river courtesy of the Medway Yacht Club; these will be handed out on a first come first serve basis. Further berths will be available in Chatham Marina on the opposite bank. These berths will be provided at a discount price thanks to MDL. A river taxi will also be laid on so that owners can get back to their boats. An informal BBQ will be arranged in the evening.
On Saturday a casual race down the river will be organized followed by lunch in a creek. In the evening MDL marinas have offered to lay on a champagne reception which will take place in the Medway Yacht Club before sitting down to dinner. The evening will be concluded with a guest speaker and prize giving ceremony. Nothing formal has been planned for the Sunday however owners are welcome to arrange their own events or start the trip home.
There are currently about 7 boats in the Medway area and we hope that many others will make the trip and join us for the weekend.
In order to ensure the weekend is successful we need to know the numbers attending. The sooner we know the sooner we can make firmer plans and book the appropriate marina berths.
If you plan to take part please send back the slip below to Hanse's southern office as soon as possible. The cost per person will be £35, whilst payment for the MDL berth should be made to MDL on the day. This cost includes all food and the river taxi. We will provide more detailed information to willing participants in due course.
Regards
Dominic Horner / Paul Woolley
