Programme 2015

Plymouth Raid

Dates: 7 -11 September 2015

The Raid will be based at the Mountbatten Water Sports and Activities Centre in Plymouth.

We have booked all of the bedrooms as accommodation for the Raid.

Cars and trailers can be parked at the Centre.

There are Plug-in facilities for camper vans are available but these will be on a first-come, first-served basis. All Camper Van users will have 24-hour access to the Centre for showers and WC included within their charge. There are very few camping facilities nearby, although plenty of B&Bs and rental properties.

The boats will be launched, moored and recovered at Mountbatten Centre (MC).

The exact programme needs to remain as flexible as possible and will depend on tidal and weather conditions. Thus, apart from Monday and Thursday evening/Friday am, everything is fluid.

In addition the cost of room-based accommodation in the Mountbatten Centre (including breakfast) is £110 per bed (Monday evening to Friday morning). Please note that you may end up sharing a room with crew from another boat as there are only 23 rooms in the Centre.

If you wish to stay in a camper van on the premises the cost is £72 per van. Those in camper vans (or live-aboards) may purchase breakfast from the Centre at £6 per head per day. These breakfasts can be booked in advance or on the day (although notice for each day is preferred).

402410 61420933 and Raid England are the details you will need if making a BACS transfer.

If you are making an overseas transfer you will need to know that HSBC is the bank, Market Place, Henley-on-Thames, UK is the address together with some or all of the below. Please can you “pay” the transfer fees as well because UK banks charge us a lot for accepting money from outside the UK ( although I believe it is free for you if within the EC) but contact me first to discuss the best way of paying.
