Following the success of previous year’s rallies to the Parkstone Yacht Club and by popular request, the Association has decided to repeat the event again this year.  And as usual Brian and Val did a fantastic job and organised a wonderful weekend in Poole.

The Parkstone Yacht Haven is well sheltered and accessible at all states of the tide, berthing fees are reasonable with a special Rally Rate arranged and shore power is usually available. All visitors are entitled to use the Yacht Club facilities for the duration of their stay. Good reasonably priced meals and drinks are available at midday and in the evenings. The excellent bar and dining room enjoy a superb view over Poole Harbour. There are plenty of other interesting activities such as meeting up with your old friends, a pleasant walk takes you into the old town of Poole with lots of shops and places of interest to look around or you can even take a ferry boat ride to Brownsea Island.

On the Saturday evening we meet up for drinks on the Yacht Club Veranda followed by a meal in the Yacht Club.

The next day everyone enjoyed the sunshine in Poole and got ready to go back.

But some had a long way to go back - David and Gillian Percy and the rest of their crew of Alcyone were getting her ready to sail to the Med.
