There seems to be two posts running on this trip.
This one and the Solent page:
https://www.mx5oc.co.uk/forum/yaf_postst105752_Isle-of-Wight-Meet—Sunday-3rd-June-2018.aspx
Will details of the Ferry discounts be posted on both or should people stick to one post?
The other one is the “official” one, this one is to gather interest from your area.
Hi,
As there seems to be a great deal of interest from you for the IOW event on June 3rd, for full details and to book your place, please see https://www.mx5oc.co.uk/forum/yaf_postsm715413findlastpost_Isle-of-Wight-Meet—Sunday-3rd-June-2018.aspx#post715413
perhaps, once we have the code for the ferry booking, is anyone interested in joining a convoy down to Portsmouth so we all arrive together? As we are still experiencing difficulties in receiving alerts form the forum perhaps you can email us mx5southcentrak@taklktalk.net to let us know
thanks see you
Alan & Helen

CONDITIONS
Wightlink uses Flexi-Pricing for its public fares, which means that prices are not static and may increase in line with demand for particular crossings. The sooner a booking is made, the more likely you are to pay a lower fare and fares will generally get higher the closer you get to the sailing date, particularly during busier times. Bookings for this offer must be made and paid in advance. All sailings are subject to availability.
The discount cannot be claimed retrospectively for bookings that have already been made and paid for and cannot be used in conjunction with any other Wightlink Promotional offers.
Depending on the type of ticket purchased cancellation and amendment fees may apply. These will be clearly advised/shown at the time of booking. Please note when planning travel times that we require all customers to be at the port for check-in no later than 30 minutes prior to sailing times.
