Mercury meet is a bunch of forumites getting together early season in May. Come by water or by land, doesn't matter.
Sponsored by MDL we meet in Mercury Marina on the Hamble River, near Southampton. Berths there are free for the evening, courtesy of MDL, event is sponsored by MDL who provide a contribution to the event to help cover costs of the marquee and food for the evening. Hot food and bar provided. We donate a whole bunch of dosh to Hamble Lifeboat from the evening and have a great time.
Some start Friday night in Yarmouth IOW, some meet up Sat lunchtime usually somewhere like Newton Creek for ablutions, losing dinghies on the end of long strings, and arguing over mooring rights with the harbour master. A ritual really, though no one is excluded.
Sunday, people who can raise their heads from comfy hangovers, head off for more punishment at the Folly or similar
Wonderful event to get to know more forumites face to face. If you want to know the history of the event, which is a tale in it's own right, just holler!
See here for last year
