alun j. Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 OK....Who's making plans ?? Our preferred date, around the May Bank Hol Mon....is a full moon and, consequently, a big tide. The next weekend , frm Fri May 8th is a lot better.....but the week earlier , from Fri Apr 24 is an even better tide. If anyone wants to go on either of those dates, and would like to take me [!!], I have accommodation pencilled in . Alun. Quote
Kingfisher 126 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 I can't do either of the ideal dates only the bank holìday weekend so may have to just go for it and leave the late bank holiday as reserve date. The tide is making on the first weekend so the last day will be some quick drifting. I think the last weekend date in April was mentioned as a possible date for presentation dinner. Will see if crew is available. As always a comprimise! Chris Quote
Steve S Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 here goes... Tigerfish Fri Apr 24th or Fri May 8th - would prefer the 24th with 8th as a reserve date.... Quote
Maverick Martin Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 I wouldn't go on large tides neither would I go on a date clashing with the presentation Quote
alun j. Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Posted January 10, 2015 Is that date for the dinner confirmed ?? There's nothing on the calendar ! Quote
Maverick Martin Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Alun Hopefully Tony/Stuie will have sussed out PY clubs availability Mon/Tuesday so we should know dates for the DD after this coming weeks committee meeting Quote
great white Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 26th April has I believe been booked with the Yacht Club for the presentation evening. Charlie Quote

alun j. Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Posted January 23, 2015 Back to the Alderney thread......... If weather allows, Steve is planning on taking Tigerfish and crew across on the Sunday after the dinner...and staying until Weds. I'm sorting accommodation and have some spaces. Is anyone else looking to join us and would like me to sort out beds ?? Alun. Quote
Peter Posted January 24, 2015 Report Posted January 24, 2015 Alun, Redfin will give it a try need to check with Rob who is down to crew with us but 4 beds would b great Peter Quote
alun j. Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Posted January 25, 2015 Hi Peter, You are boohed in with us...4 beds..three nights, Quote
Matt Posted January 26, 2015 Report Posted January 26, 2015 Now back to praying for the weather! Quote
Oli Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 Hi all, any update on people's plans? Is Fri 24th or Fri 8th the favourite now? Quote
Oli Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 Hi Rob Is that leaving Poole on the 26th? So not going over a weekend? Quote
Rob Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 Dinner dance, sat night, early start Sunday! Quote
Steve S Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 Yes that is leaving on Sunday the 26th and coming back on the Wednesday. The Club Do is on the 25th and many of us are going to that. Basically the tides look much better on that weekend rather than the weekend around the 8th May so we are shooting for that even though it is only using Sunday of the weekend, weather permitting! Quote
Oli Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 Oh crikey sorry I misread the posts. Really keen to get over there but not sure I can take 3 days off as am away (yes Martin for a wedding!) the week after. Will check the calendar!! Maverick Martin and Graham Nash 2 Quote
alun j. Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Posted February 12, 2015 A couple of other boats are looking to go over the following weekend..on the Bank Hol .....but the tides are bigger ! Quote
plaicemat Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 Just wondering, is anyone thinking of going later in May, etc, as the topic seems to have dried up. Quote
Peter Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 I will probably try and get over a couple of times this year so poss on for later in May as well Peter Yes it is strangely quiet this year is that because we have had so many disappointments? Quote
Rob Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 I will probably try and get over a couple of times this year so poss on for later in May as well Peter Yes it is strangely quiet this year is that because we have had so many disappointments? Indeed! Too many missed chances last year. Closest we got was the jersey butter on our fry up on the shore at Portland harbour! Quote
