Hayling ferry is re-launching

,

It’s a triumph for a bunch of persistent and hard-working people and for community support – the ferry is due to be re-launched tomorrow 5th August with a full, Summer service starting Saturday 6th August.

The opening event is free and starts at 12.30 including: pyrotechnics, Police guard of honour, music by local star Chloe Anne, free face painting, and the Portsmouth Football Club mascot.

For one day only, crossings will be £1 per trip.

More details of the opening event, fares and timetable on the ferry’s new web site at www.haylingferry.net.

Service updates will appear on Facebook and Twitter. There will also be an on-board mobile phone – I’ll update Cycle Hayling's ferry status page when I know the number.

U3A cycle ride on 5th April

I've added a post on the Cycle Group forum on the U3A web site to suggest a couple of possibilities for the ride on Tuesday.

You don't have to be logged in to see the discussion, but you do need to log in to respond to it.

I'm using this method rather than the 'round robin' emails to make sure:

  • Everyone that might be interested in the ride can see what we're up to - even if they aren't on the email list
  • I'm using the latest email addresses for everyone
  • I honour requests made through the web site to suppress emails from the group, and that I don't mail 'retired' members
  • I don't disclose email addresses

Please let me know if you need any help with using the U3A forum.

Hopefully see you on Tuesday,

Andy
