Med Section All-Day Seminar
Sunday 10th March 2013
10:00 until 16:30
Whether you are just preparing to set off for the Med or whether you wish to explore new cruising areas there, the Med Section All-Day Seminar is the place to be on March 10th. Invariably the event is a sell-out, with both new and experienced members attending. The Seminar is a mix of presentations in the morning covering various aspects of Med cruising and a less formal afternoon session where you can wander round the various tables and seek advice from experts on different cruise areas, equipment, regulations etc.
£23 for CA Members / £43 for non-members

After recent very successful Crete and Peloponnese rallies, and the fact that this year’s Dodecanese Rally was ‘booked up’ within 48 hours, we need more volunteers to organise these events.
