The following is what I have received from Itchenor:-  

We will be running races from our new club jetty. We will have a 10-30am briefing then 4 or 5 short races  (25 min each )  starting around noon. We will be competing as teams in a variety of boats (Coastal Quads, Solent Galleys, Celtic Longboats and Gigs) and hope to have between 12 and 15 boats taking part, including ISC’s three boats and others from across the harbour and farther afield.

Coffee and Bacon baps will be available from the Buttery at 9.30am and as the day progresses the bar will open and soup and light lunches will be available followed by tea. We are running the racing from the jetty to allow those not racing to meet other competitors and enjoy the club facilities
