2023 Programme
A DCA rally is an informal meeting on the water. 'Coordination’ is limited to being a contact person and creation of an ad hoc Whatsapp group for easier communication between the participants. Autonomy is the key word: as a participant you should make your own arrangements for launching, camping, meals etc.
Please note that all rallies are subject to change or cancellation in the light of inclement weather, so it is vital that you check in the Forum's Netherlands section for last minute changes or important instructions relating to the rally. Contact details for the rally organisers can be found in the Forum or Journal.
