The South West Regional Secretary is John Lidstone. If you have any questions about their rally programme, please email the Regional Secretaries, specifying your question concerns the South West.
Generally the SW group specify locations where they will meet on the Saturday evening of the rally weekend, often with a pub close by. Participants choose their own starting points depending on weather conditions and how far they wish to sail. Members are also welcome to travel by land to meet up at the evening venues. It is not essential to inform anyone of your intention to attend a rally but it is a good idea to do so if you would like to make an informal arrangement to sail in company with other members .
Full information for each rally and designated contacts can be found in the Journal and in the Forum South West section.
