UPDATE Thurs 30th April

The weather does not look to bad so hopefully we all will go to plan

For those joining us at the Elephant, carry on up stream past the Jolly Sailor Pub, towards the New Force 4 Chandler's until you see the old Itchen river Barge -tucked innon your left- and Parker 275 "VOL Au Vent"(flying a banner). Head towards her and turn LEFT into the Elephant Pontoons( turning right will put you onto Deacons pontoons.)"Cleo" will be somewhere there - basically the yard have said find a empty spot and park up ! you will then be heading upstream into the tide

If the weather is poor we will either head to the "Jolly Sailor" or the "Spinnaker" pub and have a pub meal

My mobile is 07528425377 and will be at the Elephant from 1300hrs onwards

look forward to seeing you

Peter

Plan B if Saturday BBQ does not happen !

Please keep your BBQ food and we will have one on the banks of the Medina river on Sunday evening (probably where we BBQ at the Rock festival)
