SUMMARY:The English Raid - Plymouth Raid V3
DESCRIPTION:The Raid will be based at the Mountbatten Water Sports and Activities Centre in Plymouth as in 2017 and 2015. \nThe Raid is taking place in school holidays in order to help those Raiders who have children (or Grandchildren) still at school. It is also the only dates that were available \nWe have booked all of the bedrooms as accommodation for the Raid. \nCars and trailers can be parked at the Centre. \nThere are spaces for up to 8 camper vans. Plug-in facilities for camper vans are available.  All Camper Van users will have 24-hour access to the Centre for showers and WC included within their charge. There are very few camping facilities nearby\, although plenty of B&Bs and rental properties. \nThe boats will be launched\, moored and recovered at Mountbatten Centre (MC). \nThe exact programme needs to remain as flexible as possible and will depend on tidal and weather conditions.  Thus\, apart from Monday and Thursday evening/Friday morning\, everything is fluid. \nMONDAY 19th August \nDay: \nArrival and registration \nEvening: \n18.00 Welcome reception \n20.00 Supper \nDAY A \nBreakfast 07.30- 08.30 \nBriefing 09.00 \nSail to Newton Ferrers \nRacing on passage to and from Newton Ferrers \nLunch on beach and or pub \nReturn  Mount Batten \nSupper 20.00 ( Location TBA ) \nDAY B \nBreakfast 07.30- 08.30 \nBriefing 09.00 \nSail to Cawsand for lunch\, \nRacing in Harbour \nReturn Mount Batten \nSupper 20.00 ( Location TBA ) \nDAY C \nBreakfast 07.30- 08.30 \nBriefing 09.00 \nSail up the Tamar \nLunch possibly at Saltash Sailing Club \nRacing on passage to and from\nSaltash Sailing Club \nSupper 20.00 ( Location TBA ) \nThursday 22nd August EVENING \nSome recovery of boats \nSupper at Royal Western Yacht Club 20.00 \nPrize giving after supper \nFriday 23rd August \nBreakfast 07.30- 08.30 \nRecover boats/free sailing \nACCOMMODATION:\nWe have booked all of the bedrooms as accommodation for the Raid.  Cars and trailers can be parked at the Centre.  Plug-in facilities for up to 8 camper vans are available.  All Camper Van users will have 24-hour access to the Centre for showers and WC included within their charge.

Camper Van residents and live-aboards can buy breakfasts at the Centre for £8.00 per head per day but these need to be booked the day before. \nPacked lunches will be provided on the Tuesday\, Wednesday and Thursday for all Raiders. \nSupper will be provided on Monday\, Tuesday\, Wednesday and Thursday evenings for all Raiders. \nCOST:\nThe cost of participation in the Raid is expected to be £300 per person (this includes 3 packed lunches\, 4 dinners\, mooring fees and car and trailer parking). \nIn addition the cost of room-based accommodation in the Mountbatten Centre (including breakfast) is £160 per person (Monday evening to Friday morning).  Please note that you may end up sharing a room with crew from another boat as there are only 26 rooms in the Centre. Couples will not be asked to share and will be given their own room. \nIf you wish to stay in a camper van on the premises the cost is £28 per day per van (including electric hook-up) i.e\,£112 for the 4 nights from Monday to Friday.  Those in camper vans (or live-aboards) may purchase breakfasts from the Centre at £8.00 per head per day.  These breakfasts can be booked in advance or the day before. \nThere is no charge for children under 5 and children 5 – 12 will be 50% of the adult cost. \nTo book your place on the Raid please go to Register 2024  and complete the form and send it to us.   A booking deposit of £75 per boat will secure your place. \n402410 61420933 and Raid England are the details you will need if using online banking \nIf you are making an overseas transfer you will need to know that HSBC is the bank and that Market Place\, Henley-on-Thames\, UK is the address together with some or all of the below.  I have recently been using a system called Wise (https://wise.com) very successfully with much better exchange rates than most banks but contact me first to discuss the best way of paying.  If you insist upon using a traditional bank please can you “pay” the transfer fees as well because UK banks charge us a lot for accepting money from outside the UK. \nIBAN: GB58HBUK40241061420933 \nBranch BIC (BIC 11): HBUKGB4113V \nBank BIC (BIC8): HBUKGB4B \notherwise please send an old-fashioned cheque made payable to: \nRaid England \nto\nGeoff Probert \n60 St. Marks Rd. \nHenley-on-Thames\, \nOxon \nRG9 1LW \nGeoff Probert \n01491 577220 \ngeoffprobertatgmaildotcom \nPeter Chesworth \n01209 822054 \npeteratwillowbridgecottagedotcodotuk \n(substitute at & dot with the usual symbols  in order  to defeat the automated spammers)
