Registration


Registration is closed

Please See COVID NOTE below

A return visit to the popular Folly Inn on the River Medina.  Being later in the season they are able to accommodate our large group. 

The Folly Inn is pretty much packed every Saturday through the season with Isle of Wight locals and visiting yacht crews.  Their novelty attraction is a lively disco after dinner always featuring dancing on the tables (assuming that the HSE police have still not yet found the IOW).

Note there is no shore power or water on the Folly mid river pontoons.  Those needing all the comforts of home will need to bring their own electricity!

Saturday 2nd October

Meet at the Folly pontoons in the afternoon.

Skippers must call the Folly Berthing Master on VHF Chanel 72 on approach for berthing instructions.

There are 9 spaces reserved on the walk ashore pontoon (so that's Andromeda, then first come, first served!)  Also it's max 12m on the walk ashore.  Remaining vessels, and those over 12m will be on the mid-river pontoons, which have a water taxi available during the pub opening hours.

Drinks on board at the walk ashore pontoon followed by dinner and dancing at the Folly (dancing is not actually compulsory).

Sunday 3rd October

Head for home ports

===============================================================================

COVID NOTE

The Committee intends that club events will go ahead wherever possible in 2021, and the planned events are not intended to be cancelled unless they are clearly prohibited by government restrictions.

All events will be run as 'Cruise in Company'.  All participants must comply with and be individually responsible for relevant guidance or regulations such as socially distancing,  maximum group sizes and household mixing during any interaction of crew groups.

It will be the responsibility of individual skippers to comply with relevant guidance or regulations in respect of crewing arrangements and the safety of their crews.  This includes, but is not limited to - hygiene precautions, social distancing, group sizes and mixing of households on board.

Due to the uncertainty over Covid risks and restrictions at the time of the event, activities and catered dining arrangements (Plan A) are subject to change or cancellation.  Crews will need to be prepared for a Plan B of switching to an open air BBQ in individual crew groups or catering on board for example.

All attendees must be registered for the event for track and trace purposes.

ANYONE EXPERIENCING COVID SYMPTOMS MUST NOT ATTEND
