EVENTS ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Notice of the Annual General
Meeting of the Hurley Owners Association The AGM event is more than just a formal meeting. It is followed by by drinks, a meal and a chat in the club bar and sometimes by an opportunity to visit Hurleys moored at the club's marina. RALLIES 2008 Despite the problems with the 2007 Rallies, the Committee are determined to try again. We've had some successful rallies in the past and with better weather surely we can do so again. So far a South West Rally, a South Rally and a series of events in Cornwall are planned. SOUTH WEST RALLY The South West Rally will be at Brixham on 7th and 8th June 2008. Torbay is an excellent cruising area and is also easily accesible from other parts of the Devon and Cornwall coasts. It is also blessed with a very good slipway for anyone who has a boat they trail. Felicity owners are obvious ones here. Brixham Marina has an events pontoon and we will be reserving spaces on this (discount rates for groups). Roger and Audrey will be sailing down from the Exe, so there is the possibility of a cruise in company for anyone baesed here or further east. Organisers: Nick Vass and Roger Kynaston Note.Your
Webmaster is thinking taking a few days to sail from the Solent to Brixham
and back (as he's never been west of Poole this is very adventurous!).
If anyone else is interested in doing a cruise in company, please contact
Rod. SOUTH
RALLY Marchwood
Sailing Club on Southampton Water 12th and 13th July 2008 has been confirmed
for this rally. Tides are neaps and HW is 1911, so boats can work up
Southampton Water in the afternoon with the flood. Please come sailing,
trailed or without boat. I'm sure that we can organise sleeping berths
for those coming by car. Past Solent meetings have been highly successful
and it should be an enjoyable time this year as well. If you are based
in the Solent/Chichester area this would be an excellent oppotunity
to meet other owners. WEST CORNWALL EVENTS As a result of the social evening/planning meeting held on 7 March the following events are planned
The
cruise to Fowey would be an ideal opportunity to meet up with other
HOA members from Plymouth and beyond. Given that 'the word on the street'
is that you'll only be successful getting to the Isles of Scilly 1 year
out of 4, two dates have been chosen, so that if unsuccessful in June
we can try again in August. Any enquiries should be addressed to Bruce
Carter, HOA West Cornwall Area Representative: b.carter425@btinternet.com
or via the Hurley Owners Yahoo group.
RALLIES 2007 The
Rallies in the 2007 programme were very poorly supported, largely because
of problems with dates and the awful weather in June and July. However
there was a succesful Southern Rally organised by Tim Sharman at Hornet
Sailing Club in Gosport. Four visiting boats turned up: Mike Carter
(Mi-Solite, H24/70), Ken McKenzie (Sulu II, H22), Jeff Moody (Curlew
of Bosham, H24/70) and Nick Grogan (Kione, H22). Dave Gowers arrived
by road and Tim was there of course - he keeps his H22, Strider at Hornet).
It would appear that good food was eaten, good beer was drunk and many
yarns were told. For further details read Mike Carter's report in the
October Newsletter. RALLIES 2006 South - Solent The Solent Rally was held at Marchwood on 17/18th June 2006. There is a full report from Nick Grogan complete with pictures in the July Newsletter East Coast - Medway The East Coast Rally was scheduled for the Medway on 27/28th May. Unfortunately bad weather meant that any sailing had to be cancelled but a number of members met for Saturday lunch at Hoo Ness Yacht Club South West - Plymouth The South West Rally took place on 1st/2nd July in Plymouth and there is a full report from Tim Sharman in the July Newsletter. Below is a photomontage of some of the many pictures taken at the rally. It looks as though everyone had a marvellous time. Perhaps the pictures will encourage more members to attend next year's rallies
The Cross-Channel Rally - 23rd-26th July 2005 The weather and other factors proved frustrating for those taking part and prevented them from getting to Cherbourg. However, a good time was had by all. A full report is in the October 2005 newsletter.
