Thames Gathering

[Gumpy]

From my trips down the Thames I seem to remember that one of the major clubs has a gathering at Remenham above Hambleden Lock on August bank holiday weekend. Is my memory playing tricks on me and is it an annual event.

Hmmm! there's the annual 5 Clubs Rally in May.
August? could that be the ATYC? I think its in Henley every 3rd year.

ATYC sounds familiar.
Just wondering if it is this year as I know that someone else could be planning a do there and we need to avoid a clash.

The ATYC rally is being held at West India Dock this August Bank Holiday.

All the best

Just go up through the bridge and park on the park. Having said that I think the Remenham Moorings may be pricing themselves out of the market as far as ATYC & 5 clubs are concerned so they may well be free.

What sort of "do" are you planning? Should I abandon plans to use the Thames around Henley for two weeks each side of the Bank Holiday. ie it's not a DBA do is it?

Im not planning anything.
However the largest club that I belong to is, I use the word largest to refer to membership and boat size /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Not sure if I will be there, depends if Essex calls again. There is still lots for me to explore that way.

Well keep us posted because we don't all want to go to Docklands for the ATYC, although I believe the DBA are being invited again.

Should have also said enjoyed you photo's of the East Coast trip (did you post a link here?), including getting to Havengore a couple of weeks before I did; certain TNC'ers ridiculed me over this.
