Beccles meet 28- 31 May 2021

At last some good news ! I have had a reply from the Beccles Harbour Master to say he has booked us in for arriving earliest Friday 28 May through to the bank holiday Monday 31 May. Of course this is all conditional on the the easing of Covid restrictions announced by the PM not changing.
Another condition we may have to abide by is a cap on numbers. In the event of this applying I have booked for a maximum of TWELVE stern on moorings, six with power. If this condition does apply it will be FIRST COME FIRST SERVED so please let me know by email/ PM your requirements ASAP. (Any side on moorings required will be by separate negotiations direct with the HM.)
Cost on the website ( current ?) is £11 / 24 hours stern on, see   http://www.beccles.info/towncouncil/beccles-quay-yacht-station-for-2020-21/

*** Due to possible restricted numbers, only request a mooring if you are 100% certain of being able to attend, Thank you ***
*** Note: I will also make a list of reserve places if we exceed numbers or you can't fully commit at the moment ***

Let's hope our 2021 meet season can start with this popular event which has always been very successful.

Are the side on moorings not available Derek?

Ooops just read the post properly. I'll email them

Hoping to be with you for the first time - with ANNE! See you there, Pat?

Would love to David, but really not sure of our schedule yet. I became a grandfather recently, so a trip to Cyprus to meet my grandson will be at the very top of my list 

Anne will feel right at home there having been to most of the Beccles meets

We might make Salhouse! 


Congratulations to you both - tough choice though - Cyprus or Beccles.....................

Congratulations Pat I  have six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren one of the happiest times in my life I am so happy for you and your wife

Please limit this thread to the Beccles 2021 meet, thanks.

I’ll consider myself reprimanded

NOTHING but this thread is for interest in Beccles, organising an event on social media is difficult enough to keep tabs on with Facebook/ forums/email / messaging etc. That was my only point.

If it gets out of hand, I’ll split it to another thread.
As it currently all fits on one page, it’s difficult to see the issue

Hi  all especially those coming to the Beccles meet . With just three and a bit weeks to the first Freeman meet since 2021 I'm getting excited !!
If you want to come and haven't yet please register your mooring go to the "2021 meets" tab at the top of the page.Details of facilities and costs can be found here:.
http://www.beccles.info/towncouncil/beccles-quay-yacht-station-for-2020-21/

Mooring fees will be paid individually direct to the Harbour Master on the weekend.

Earliest arrival will be Friday PM ( unless you have made your own arrangements), the meet lasts until BH Monday lunchtime  but the choice of time spent at the meet is yours, some elect to come Saturday and leave Sunday, some may just want to come for the day, that's fine, just fill in your requirements on the registration form
It is hoped like previous years we will have BBQ ( not communal, bring your own) on Saturday and fish and chip supper on Sunday ( assuming shop is open as before).
Evening get togethers will be subject to the Covid regulations in force at the time, going on previous times these have proved very enjoyable despite my efforts on my ukulele !! ( Which I will be repeating unless the popular vote goes against me   !!)
I can't guarantee good weather, but I can guarantee a good sociable friendly time, so look forward to seeing you there

I’m no longer a beccles virgin! A big thank you to Derek for organising a great event with military precision! I enjoyed every minute and how you organised such great weather is truely testament to your project management skills! Don’t say that’s your last one Derek! Procrastinate that decision!

Oh bug#"er I really enjoyed it!! we will see !! Lot can happen in 12 months.

Derek, get Tony to drop your boat in at Salhouse and go to that at least! He said he would do it. I’m planning to go!

I'll only be popping in by car this time Rupert. That's the same as I told Tony at Beccles despite his very kind offer
