The arrangements for FOGOF 2024 – arriving St Quay Portrieux on or before Friday 14th June. We are tentatively planning the FOGOF dinner at Les Cochons Flingeurs (The Gunslinging Pigs!), on the evening of the 14th, depending on numbers, as they did a very good job 5 years ago. I appreciate that it is still a way off but if would be useful to know if you are able to participate this year and approximately how many crew you will have.
As mentioned in my earlier email below, the arrangements for a separate cultural exchange planned between Fowey and the Port of Binic have been firmed up thanks to the dedication of Ken and Ali Wittamore and the citizens and civic authorities of Binnic. This will be open to Fowey based boats and/or owners and Fowey residents with Fowey folk scheduled to arrive in Binnic by boat and car on Saturday June 8th – the weekend before FOGOF. Please see attached note for details. Again, it would be useful to know if you would like to participate in this exchange. It may be necessary to call in at St Quay (or St Cast, Lézardrieux, Tréguier, or Trébeurden ) on route to Binic in order to clear inwards as, last year, Binic did not have its own derogation to act as a port of entry. I will advise on this year’s derogation arrangements in a further update. Boats attending the Binic exchange visit will need to depart from Binnic on the midday tide on Wednesday 12th June in order to participate in FOGOF as the tidal coefficients will be too low to allow the lock gates to open again until Wednesday 19th June.
