ECA Daffodil Rally to Bembridge
ECA Daffodil Rally to Bembridge - Saturday 12th April to Monday 14th April
Our first 'shakedown' rally of the season is to Bembridge, to give an easy trip to blow the cobwebs away and check all is working as it should.
After booking on the rally here you will need to book and pay in advance on the Bembridge Harbour website at Bembridge Self-service Booking System quoting the rally code which we will send out once we have it from Bembridge (hopefully by the start of February). Note that if you don't wish to be rafted and book a finger berth the rally discount will not be applied.
