Thanks Gareth, so that's at least one new place available for someone else.
The Ullswater meeting will go ahead on 12th to 14th June but with a change of venue to the Glenridding Sailing Centre.
Ullswater Yacht Club has had a change of management and recently declared access to slipways and changing rooms will be restricted because priority will be given to local Club boats for training and racing Keelboats.
The good news is that Glenridding Sailing Centre (GSC) are very welcoming and happy to have us. Visit
www.glenriddingsailingeentre. co.uk to see what an excellent location this is.
The deal on offer from GSC is £20 per day (Fri pm to Sun pm counts as 2 days), which includes launching and use of facilities. We are also invited to the annual GSC Ceilidh in the village hall at a cost of £25 pp and includes feasting, drinking (included in price!) and dancing. The food and drink appeals although people with delicate feet may be relieved to hear I might leave dancing to others.
There are a number of good campsites nearby. Please see
http://www.ullswater.co.uk/camping.html#Watermillock and make your own arrangements.ntre. co.uk to see what an excellent location this is.

Unfortunately GSC are restricted to 15 boats which is as many as have already “registered an interest” but don't despair if your not registered, spare places will probably become available.
If you registered an interest (list below) then please confirm before 2nd May by sending me a message on the forum website (so as to keep this thread uncluttered) with your name, likely number of crew, boat name and type, interest in the Ceilbh (not obligatory) etc OR let me know if you cannot come so that available places can be offered to boats that have not previously registered but would like to.
