Blackpool boats will have to pop over the fri night due to tide times and tide height.

How is everyone set? 1 week Saturday and weather permitting we will all be blasting round a 42 mile course collecting cards from 5 points to potentially win the poker run
Entertainment, hog roast and a weekend to remember is all set and the island is waiting for us

Who will win the concourse de elegance trophy thats has kindly been sponsored by Steve Hutchinson at riverside powerboats?

Please can anyone who can't make it let me know.

Not long now so let's hope it's 3rd time lucky..

Ok unfortunately due to rain Friday, 18mph westerly winds forecast on Saturday and heavy rain due on Sunday the poker run is going to have to be postponed again to the 25 July.. I know this will work for a lot of entrants and i think its for the best for safety reasons and maximum enjoyment to say the least.
I know this is frustrating and there is no one more frustrated than myself but the great British weather is against us.
Thanks to all who is making this event happen and let's make sure it's an event to remember

2 weeks in Saturday and we can hopefully get this poker run to happen, Christ we deserve it.
Is there any late entrants wanting to take part, we have a few spaces available.

Thanks
Mike

It's on

I'm happy to announce that the Piel Island poker run is going ahead this weekend. Happy days. The pub is stocking up with beer and off to pick the hog up for the roast.
If anyone wants a last minute place there's a few remaining.

Mike

Hi Mike,

I bought a picton boat from Daniel Holmes a couple of months ago and he suggested coming down to see the poker run at the weekend. Unfortunately I can only come down for the day on Saturday, is there a good place to watch the event from on the water? What time does it start and is there a marine radio channel that you will be using on the day?

Many thanks

Hadleigh

Ahh that Pistons been around a few of my mates, it's been a good boat, coming for the day on Saturday is not a problem, to give you a vantage point in the water would be difficult, there is a map you can view in the island of the course! You can always enter if you want?
The run will start at 12 although the safety briefing is at 10.30am, miss that and you can't enter unfortunately, if you just want to watch them come for 11 and you can go from there. No marine channel to use

Cheers mike

ok, we will get there for 10am and maybe decide on the day if you have any spaces left if that's ok as I had never heard of this type of event until Dan mentioned it but it sounds like good fun.

Dan said the boat had lived around Barrow for a long time, we've had a run from Workington to Maryport and back and it seems to behave pretty well so hopefully saturday should be a good run out for it.
