Countdown to Islay

As Eddie has announced on several occasions in the past month, on the 4th of May he will start taking bookings and deposits for the club accommodation places for the Islay Half Marathon. Names will only go on the list on receipt of the £20 deposit. First come, first served - no exceptions. Eddie will also take payments directly at his house if you can't make it to the club.

The total cost is expected to be around £100 for the accommodation (from Friday 4th August to Monday 7th August) and BBQ. The race entry and ferry/transport are extra and are to be organised by yourselves. We will try to coordinate sharing of lifts etc, nearer the time but if you are taking your own car, organise the ferry yourself. Similarly, enter the race yourself (pre-entry only by post, form downloadable from Islay Half Marathon web site http://www.islayhalfmarathon.co.uk/).

(note - with regard to the ferry, CalMac often put on some extra Summer sailings over and above the regular timetable. However, in the event of any technical or weather problems, the extra ferries will be the first ones to be cancelled, as happened last year. We therefore recommend that you book the ferries which depart on the regular, year round times which on the Friday depart Kennacraig at 0700, 1300 and 1800 and on the Monday depart Port Ellen at 0700, 0945 and 1815, I think - check with CalMac. Cost of taking a car, excluding the driver and passengers is £65 return. Cost for each driver/passenger is £13 return).
