Clyde Raid<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Dates: 8 -12 August 2016<\/h3>\n

The Raid will be based at the Blairvadach Outdoor Centre on Gare Loch just outside Rhu, Helensburgh\u00a0\u00a0in Scotland.<\/p>\n

I have booked all of the bedrooms as accommodation for the Raid.<\/p>\n

Cars and trailers can be parked at the Centre in a secure car park.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hook-up facilities for up to 4 camper vans (max. 4 persons per van) are available but these will be on a first-booked, first-served basis. All Camper Van users will have access to the Centre for showers, WC, drying and storage included within their charge. There are plenty of B&Bs and rental properties available in the area.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The boats will be launched and recovered at Blairvadach Centre (BC) but will be moored at Rhu Marina on their pontoons, thus giving walk-ashore access fro all crews.<\/p>\n

The Royal Northern & Clyde Yacht Club (http:\/\/rncyc.com\/<\/a>) have kindly agreed that we may use their bar facilities in the evenings as visiting guest sailors.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The exact programme needs to remain as flexible as possible and will depend on tidal and weather conditions. \u00a0The programme below is highly speculative and aspirational at this stage.<\/p>\n

Thus, apart from Monday and Thursday evening\/Friday am and the evening eating arrangements, everything is fluid.<\/p>\n

ACCOMMODATION:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I have booked all of the bedrooms as accommodation for the Raid. Much of the accommodation is in 4 person (2 bunks) rooms, although we will try to ensure that couples are not sharing with others.<\/p>\n

Sheets, pillows, pillowcases and blankets are provided. \u00a0Please bring your own towels.<\/p>\n

Cars and trailers can be parked at the Centre.<\/p>\n

Hook-up facilities for up to 4 camper vans are available but these will be on a first-booked, first-served basis. \u00a0All Camper Van users will have access to the Centre for showers, WC, drying and storage included within their charge. There are plenty of B&Bs and rental properties.<\/p>\n

There are no pontoons at the Centre and thus it is not possible to walk-ashore if you are planning to be a live-aboard.<\/p>\n

N.B. Change to the above. \u00a0We have now made arrangements to base the fleet at Rhu Marina (http:\/\/www.quaymarinas.com\/our-marinas\/rhu-marina<\/a>) and raft up on their pontoons. \u00a0This will give walk-ashore access for the whole fleet, together with WiFi. showers and lavatories. \u00a0There is also an excellent cafe situated there.<\/p>\n

FOOD:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Breakfast for those with beds in the Blairvadach Centre is included. Camper Van residents and live-aboards can buy breakfasts at the Centre for \u00a03.50 per head per day.<\/p>\n

Packed lunches will be provided on the Tuesday, Wednesday\u00a0and Thursday for all Raiders.<\/p>\n

Supper will be provided on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings for all Raiders.<\/p>\n

COST:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The cost of the raid is \u00a3175 per person (this includes 3 packed lunches, 4 dinners, mooring fees, chart, car and trailer parking and support rib).<\/p>\n

In addition, the cost of room-based accommodation in the Blairvadach Centre (including breakfast) is \u00a3140 per bed (Monday evening to Friday morning). \u00a0Please note that you may end up sharing a room with crew from another boat as there are only 23 rooms in the Centre.<\/p>\n

If you wish to stay in a camper van on the premises the cost is \u00a375 per van(max 4 people per van). Those in camper vans (or live-aboards) may purchase breakfast from the Centre at \u00a33.50 per head per day. \u00a0These breakfasts can be booked in advance or on the day (although notice for each day is preferred).<\/p>\n

There is no charge for children under 5, but please note that the Centre is not geared up to cater for such young children. \u00a0There are no high chairs, for example.<\/p>\n

To book your place on the Raid please go to\u00a0Register\u00a02016<\/span><\/a>, complete the form and send it to me.<\/p>\n

A booking deposit of \u00a350 will secure your place.<\/p>\n

402410 61420933 and Raid England are the details you will need if making a BACS transfer.<\/p>\n

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. \u00a0Please 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.<\/p>\n
