POSSIBLE NEW NORTH WEST WALES BRANCH
First North West Wales Rally

As previously advised Geoff Hilditch (29 Aslan based Caernarfon) has volunteered to try to organise a get together of members with boats based in North West Wales, initially those around the Angelsey and the Menai Straits area, with the plan to include those in other areas of North and Mid Wales if a “branch” can be established.
The first rally is scheduled for the early May Bank Holiday weekend and, weather permitting, a clockwise circumnavigation of Anglesey stopping at Holyhead on Saturday night and somewhere in the Menai Straits, depending on wind direction, on Sunday night. If any other members, that Geoff has not yet been in contact with, would also be interested in joining in he can be contacted by email geoff@huntbros.co.uk and he will provide further details.
