We are hoping for many more classics to attend this time round as the initial show of hands at Cardiff of approx 35 boats dwindled somewhat last time!
To this end our Irish hosts have asked for preferred dates, spring is the only time it works in their calendar, last time was late April & the weather was generally very good with no rain
as I'm told is often the case this time of year. The plan is to run two events over two weekends, with free 'holiday' time in between. Either one or both weekends can be attended. Ferry prices are not, we are told by Irish Ferries, seasonal but are cheaper if travelling on the Tuesday or Wednesday which would suit this event anyway.Clearly this is never going to be a cheap rally to attend, however it has to be thought of as a holiday which puts it into perspective, as a holiday it isn't expensive & the boating is just fantastic
. Probably unlike anything you will have done before unless you have attended European rallies or gone boating in North America. The hospitality is superb 
and the welcome very warm.I suggest you give serious thought to making this a 'must do' holiday destination for 2013
We had rather hoped that there may be more of us next year but it seems that may not be the case with only those who went last year being up for it in 2013 so far, & no interest from anyone else.
