Rally Chat Lymington Rally August 2018 - Isle Of Wight Day Trip

[Mr Chrysalis]

The coach company has suggested “Hi Chris
You’re that side of the island so start at the Needles then go along Military road past Black gang over the top drop down into Ventnor (Botanic Gardens) perhaps then go
inland to Godshill for a spot of lunch,then see what time it was have a word with the driver then plan the afternoon.But the coach is yours for the day to do as you wish ?.”

So I propose to go with that.

In order to confirm booking, I should be paying for the trip shortly. The cost of the coach is £380, which works out at about £10 per head. We also agreed £2 per dog.

I have set up a special bank account for this. The account detail is C P Edwards account 63052768, Sort Code 30-96-18. Please pay £10 per head plus £2 per dog by online payment, and send me a PM to confirm your booking. If you cannot make online payments please PM me so we can arrange another method. Please make the payment to me by 26th April.

If this £10 per head leaves a small surplus or is not quite enough, I propose to settle in cash, on the day, after paying the driver a reasonable tip.

Please also make your Ferry Bookings directly. I understand some of you want to use Tesco or other discount vouchers so there is no benefit in making a block booking. To connect with the coach, please book the 0845 going and 1910 return ( or later return if you are staying longer in Yarmouth. The date is 13th August 2018.

 

[Mr Chrysalis]

Would you say the early morning is the correct one for the 8.45 booking. You have the choice ot early morning , late morning , early afternoon, late afternoon and evening.

When you book, select early morning on the first page, then on the next page you pick from the available times , so choose 0845 there.

By the way, anyone over 60 don’t make the same mistake I did: select “Senior 60+”, not Adult. It is £6 instead of £16!

 

[Muriel]

Lymington. Re isle of Wight trip. Just paid my £10 coach trip and will book my ferry crossing when the man fitting my new window has buggered off! At last, the burglary window is being replaced today.

The Senior rate is a great price especially with our Fun 10% discount code too as works out as £10.88 return or you need Tesco vouchers to cover £12.10 each.
If you are younger then £14.58 after discount or vouchers needed for £16.20 each.

 

[Mr Chrysalis]

I see, the £6.05 senior rate is each way. That’s ok then, I only overpaid by £3.70!

Don't forget to go to Wightlink via Quidco as 4% cashback - it all adds up
If anyone is a Blue Badge holder then there is 25% discount for foot passengers already in place via the website http://www.wightlink.co.uk/go/discounts/offer/up-to-25-discount-for-blue-badge-holders/
Also if you are AA & C&CC members you can go via their links for 15% discount but 10% was the best we could get for Fun this time although Quidco cashback would apply too.

[fairford rambler]

I had to laugh when I saw £2 per dog. I take it they will supply free chews for doggy in the price. Also does this mean the dog gets a seat as well. Mine is a Great Dane he always takes up two seats so is that £4 and can he have double chews as well.

Of course i'm only joking

I know you are joking, we just made it a nominal cost for the dogs so that the non doggy people felt a bit better about it as the dogs (including mine) will restrict us a bit. We were lucky to get a coach company that would allow dogs, and they do not allow them in seats. I hope the smaller dogs don’t become chews for the big ones!

Oh dear in that case Snorbits will have to stay at home and I will have to bring Chippy the Chiwawa, he can sit on my lap. Two tenners should be arriving shortly by Greyhound Express.

 

[Old Rascal]

Ferry booked through C&CC. Payment for coach paid & PM sent to @Mr Chrysalis.
Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Quick update: I have received deposits for 15 people so far. A couple of weeks to go so I’m not too nervous yet! If anyone has decided not to go, please let me know.

 

[Hils and Glenns]

Hi
Very sorry but it turns out I will be working on the dates of the rally so we won't be able to make it after all. . Very sorry. So can you take Hils and Glenns off the list for coach trip and site. Please let me know if we owe anything.

Nooooo

 

[Mr Chrysalis]

Update: I still have deposits for 15 people out of the 46 on the list. I now have the invoice from the coach company which is £360, so we need a few more deposits before we can pay it.

 

[Dorwyn]

... so as a late comer as always can I join in, can you add 2 to the list and do I just book the ferry separately? What about the bus? There are so many threads and replies it's confusing for a bear of limited brain!

Hi yes, @Dorwyn, I will add you on. The coach is £360 between whoever comes ( hope it will be £10 each). Yes you book the ferry yourself.
