Isle of Mull RFC Clubhouse, Garmony, Isle of Mull

We have been invited to the above festival. The first game starts at 11.45am

We are hoping to take our P4/5, P6/7 & Under 14 teams to Mull

The club will supply playing tops, players to supply their own shorts and socks. Players should carry a packed lunch with them.

We will require parents to transport our players to the Calmac Ferry Terminal at Lochaline. Players, parents, and coaches will then cross as foot passengers to Fishnish. Isle of Mull RFC have very kindly arranged return transport from the ferry terminal at Fishnish, to the clubhouse at Garmony.

The most suitable ferry is the 10.25am sailing from Lochaline to Fishnish, which arrives at 10.43am. This should allow a sufficient amount of time to get everyone taken to Garmony before the rugby festival starts at 11.45am

(Latest check-in time for foot passengers at Lochaline is 10.15am)

Can I request please that everyone is at the ferry terminal by 10am, to allow time to get vehicles parked, and the group assembled for boarding the 10.25am ferry

Lochaber Rugby Club will pay the Lochaline to Fishnish ferry fare for our players, parents, and coaches to travel to Mull as foot passengers.

The rugby festival is due to finish about 3pm. Depending on timings, we will return on the 4.25pm or 5.10pm ferry from Fishnish. The return crossing to Lochaline takes approximately 20 minutes.

Although the distance from Ardgour to Lochaline is approx. 30 miles, the journey can take an hour or so due to the nature of the roads. For those travelling from Fort William using the Corran Ferry, the sailings at 08.30am, or 08.50am, are the most suitable to allow enough time to travel to Lochaline to arrive by 10am.

Please let your coach or Stevie know if you are available to attend.
