Rallies & Meetings - announcements

The JRA will host a rally of JRA boats and members wherever, and whenever, there is enough local interest. Our standard fixtures are in some or all of these areas each year:
The South Coast of England (Summer rally) - held in May or June alternating between Warsash (near Southampton, Hampshire) or Plymouth in Devon, with an occasional visit to Falmouth in Cornwall
The North of England held at the end of August or early September at Kippford on the Solway Firth or in North Wales at Caernarfon on the Menai Straits. 
The East Coast of England held in mid July on the Blackwater at Bradwell-on-Sea, Essex.

Scotland  held in early to mid July at Holy Loch on the Clyde.                           

Southern Norway  held in early August at Hundvag just outside Stavanger.  
Our rally programme is decided at the beginning of each year and the dates for these will be posted in the Forthcoming Events section below as soon as known as well as being listed in the winter edition of the JRA newsletter published each January/February     
The Annual General Meeting of the Junk Rig Association has been held at the South Coast rally, to date. It is likely that this website will be used to host the AGM in the future.
