Watchet Marina August Party

[ribdriver]

I have just been in the marina office and they mentioned that they are holding a party for all boat owners - both berth holders and visitors, on the evening of Saturday 15th August - 7pm until midnight. Apparently last year was a success but this year they want to do a shorter but more 'full on' event!

As such they are having a hog roast, live entertainment (2 - 3 acts) bar and other things like a bouncy castle jousting game thing and other amusements (for the kids but I am sure plenty of adults might feel the desire to participate, especially after a few drinks!)

Anyway I think it is going to be free to berth holders and visiting boats, and they are going to try and do a berthing deal for boats staying for 3 days or more. They said the only charge will be the bar and this will only be a nominal cost.

So it sounds like a fun evening - I'm going to go if I can, but they did they say they need as many advance bookings as poss so as to make sure they have enough food to round. (and this is important I think!!)

Would love to come, will check my diary, and the weather!

 

[ribdriver]

just re-read my post and thought...visitor berthing is not included in the 'free night' thing but they will try and do a deal if 3 nights or more. (don't want the blame if I got it wrong!!)

don't forget.......who's going?

Said I'd do an unofficial plug for this 'coming up soon' event.

They have a hog roast booked along with 3 different live music acts. Free to anyone with a boat in the marina that evening (saturday 15th August). There will also be a bar, bouncy castle-jousting-gladiator game thing (sounds dangerous!!), skittles, quiz and various other bits and bobs to keep us all entertained.

They said they would prefer advanced booking so as to get a rough idea of numbers, but if last year was anything to go by, I thought it was a good crack and there were a lot of boats (100 + on top of the annual berth holders).

And I nearly forgot - they'll lay on a bbq breakfast on the sunday morning as well. (that's me sold on it then!)

Their phone number is 01984 631264 or an email is good - try james@watchet-harbour-marina.com.

Gate times that weekend:

Saturday opening 1125
closing 1558

Sunday opening 0014
closing 0446
opening 1252
closing 1725

Could it be better? Lets pray for sunshine (unlike today!)

See you there!
