Hi all,
I was somewhat stunned by the response to my post on a proposed trip to France next year! However it is brilliant to have so many people keen to go. I have now registered both Galleys and both Claydons for the event and they have all been accepted as part of Flotilla 1 which is for rowed boats of all shapes and sizes. You can see all the boats registered so far by going to
https://www.semainedugolfe.com/Les-inscrits-2019-1577-0-0-0.html?&s_491=15&st_491=aI was concerned about the cost of taking the Claydons on their separate trailers as these are expensive on the ferry but this has been slightly improved by the news that if we use the Portsmouth to Caen ferry route there is a 20% discount for event participants. I estimate that it will cost us around £80 pp to get the boats to the Golfe which is not much more than I originally suggested.
Some other new information has just been sent out. The translation is not perfect (!) but you can get the gist of it so I though you would like to see it . ...

If anyone would like a copy of the original French please say and I will email it to you!
I will need to book the boats onto ferries fairly soon and will have to ask for full payment of the ferry fare when I do as the offer requires full payment up front and no refunds!
