Nice idea - Portishead Docks Rally weekend is an obvious event for the English side of the water, since there are so many visiting boats then.

Good idea. I have done the Scuttlebut forum Cherbourg weekend 4 times now as crew on Big Nics boat. Im allways amazed how different people are in real life to the picture your mind builds up from reading the forums.

Seems like a good plan to me... I would like to propose that the Welsh event should be held at the B.C.Y.A. (Bristol Channel Yachting Association www.bristolchannel.co.uk) Rally, which takes place Friday 11 Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 July 2008, it is held in tandem with The Welsh Internation Food Fair, which is run by The Cardiff Bay Harbour Authority... (so there will be lots to do and see for all the family as well as a buffet and reception for those who register, to register, please contract: Susanne Newbold...

Good idea again. Couple of pictures from last years BCYA event.

A good idea, but if it is held at an event then there is the problem of actually geting together away from the rest of the throng.
Why not do something specific. I know we tried the Lundy meet-up which didn't work but I think something along those lines would be better. Pick a bay and we all anchor there for a couple of days, cheap and quite cheerful I expect!

Are there moorings available for the BCYA do and are stinkies allowed?

Last year the pontoon berths were a "special rate" to those that pre registered.BCYA represents all types of boating in the Channel,even stinkies /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
The anchoring in a bay idea does have some appeal but I think its probably more practical to go somewhere with pontoon berths.Watchet would be fairly centtral in the Channel?

Boats are boats. Why the boatism about mobos or rags? All are welcome.

Of course they're allowed (The B.C.Y.A. are currently looking for a motorboat representative... could that be you?) and the mooring is... well I can't say free cos The C.H.A. don't want to set a president but they are so heavily subsidised that you won’t know the difference. /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

That sounds grrrreat! Where are the pontoons situated and how do I register?
As for becoming BCYA rep', I'd need a lot more info' - salary, holidays etc. etc.
Only kidding, could be a possibility!

What about a winter meet-up on land (at one of the YCs)?

The BCYA rally last year was great fun. I managed to avoid being in any of the photos as I was moored at the end towards the Norwegian church. One of the stalls was selling barrels of beer which was some of the best stuff I have tasted for years, so part of the rally has gone from my memory!
Great weekend.
If a few people arrived early they may be able to save an area at one end for us lot.
