I can do either, but not both, let me know which one you need me for?
M27 J9 -J11 Both directions will be closed from 9pm Fri 14th June until 9pm Sat 15th June. A diversion will be in place. this diversion is not lengthy but does pass through Fareham Town. The only advice given is that Sat traffic will resemble a typical Monday rush hour. However at the early time you will be travelling this should not be too much of an issue. It is a main route (mostly A27) and will be suitable for gigs.
We do strongly advise allowing another hour to your travel time.
If you are able to travel on Fri we have secure gig storage at the Marina,
please let me know so we can arrange to meet you.
Not sure how far this is from racing, but prices start from £189 for 6 people, for 3 nights.Text me if anyone fancies sharing cost.

Prize giving will take place straight after the last race. Please return any trophies.
Please note as this event takes place from Weymouth Beach there is no limit in the number of Clubs or gigs attending.
There will be a fee of £10 per gig for launching and trailer storage – these fees will be collected when you register your crews.
Gig Launching
Gigs will be unloaded/loaded from the public slipway in the inner harbour (near the Debenhams store on Commercial Road (DT4 8NG) between 8.00am and 8.45am.
Weymouth members will be on hand to assist in loading/unloading.
You will require a cox’n and rowers to row your gig round to the beach. Please take care on the water as traffic in the harbour can be busy at this time of the year.
There are a few local hazards which must be pointed out :-
• The Town Lifting Bridge – stop if red lights show
• Rowing boat ferries – these cross the harbour just past the Life Boat station and they don’t tend to give way!
Car Parking
There is nearby parking at the Weymouth Pavilion Car Park.
Free water will be available (Bring your own bottle) and we would welcome those attending bringing their own refillable mugs.
There is an after party organised by Bridport. If you plan to stay over and attend, let me know as they would like numbers
