Mercury Meeting - May 2009

[BrendanS]

[ QUOTE ]
Do we book our own berths?

[/ QUOTE ]

When we start organising properly, then we will compile a full list of people, with a list of boat names and lengths. I will provide the list to MDL, and they will tell us how many they can fit it. If there are too many boats, then we will set up a waiting list, as there are always some drop outs. The waiting list won't be first come first served, as they can fit in small boats more easily than big uns.

 

[strakeryrius]

Cn confirm that we are definte maybes, but will be 2 + 2/3 (teenage sprogs) depending on dates of exams. What about the pooch? Will others be bringing theirs?

[ColdFusion]

I was beginning to wonder about that myself!

Thanks Torp /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

And Pauline /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[bigmart]

Can I come please miss? I'll try to bring some Drunkards/Friends along too.

I promise not to make a spectacle of myself like before (Oops, was that here or on another forum).

Will there be large quantities of food. My stockpile of Fray Bentos is dwindling & ASDA haven't had a decent offer on months.

Martin

 

[ebbtide]

Pauline, this thread runs to 14 pages already! There's obviously sufficient interest to proceed so please open a specific Event column.

Also confirm the date plus berthing arrangements (cost?), dining arrangements (price?), request deposits (yes!) and start a new list.

What peeps wear is irrelevant if mooring, eating and drinking is chaos - you could lean on Scuttlebutt Cherbourg organisers for tips about what went wrong on the night.

I recall that The Waters Edge restaurant in the marina seats about 50 at most.

Thats quite a skill! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

 

[BrendanS]

It doesn't happen in the restaurant, in a marquee, or in the second year, two marquees, one for the catering side. Dates, location are under discussion, this thread is just to judge interest. In the past we've had sponsorship which has kept the cost down. If things come together, we'll start a temporary forum, and make it known across the various forums

Cost will come down to final numbers and the amount of sponsorship.

Can't discuss too much about previous meets and berthing costs etc, as those were agreed with MD of MDL at the time, and it may be different this time.

Just to give you some idea. 40 boats and 160 people is probably the upper end. I've organised this a few times before, so know what I'm doing, and this is just about interest at the moment

While I remember, can I just say 'thank you' in advance to Pauline, Brendan, Goosewing, et al for organising this /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[BrendanS]

Lets see if it happens first. Last time, many people dropped out, and we had to cancel the event.
