Saturday 16th May
Free day around Cowes or beyond. We are sure there will be various plans for walks or visits around the area via bus.

Sunday 17th May
We are booked into the Island Sailing Club for a carvery lunch at 13:00. As it is a carvery there is no need for a pre-order. Optional walk to Gurnard and back afterwards to get rid of some of those calories.
