Please remember to bring a lifejacket to wear on the jetty/pontoon.
Please don't forget to register on the Itchenor website if you haven't yet done so
https://www.itchenorsc.co.uk/event/celtic-longboat-eventPlease be at the main public slipway at Itchenor ( end of the main street ) to help us launch Sweare Deep at 8.30 on Saturday. Some of you will need to jump into the boat and row her round to the Sailing club. There is a public car park on the left just before the Ship Inn.
Please could I have four volunteers to meet Tim and I at the boatpark at 3pm on Friday to get Sweare Deep onto her trailer and round to Marilyn's house so that we can hitch her up on Saturday morning. Post below if you can help.
Let me know if I've forgotten anything!
