The isle Martin trust are having a festival in May. http://www.islemartin.org/?page_id=281
It would be great to have sailing club members along (especially as they can generally get there under their own steam). The pontoon will be busy and we would be looking to keep one side completely clear for the ferries which I imagine will be running almost continously. I imagine anchoring might be a good option for some (tripping line advised!).
More info. as it develops.

Festival of Future Living and Community Resilience
Invitation to be yourself, on an
island, on the weekend of 19th/20th/21st of May 2017
This 3 day, off-grid, island bound
festival wants you! Community owned and run Isle Martin is extending its usual
open day to fit in more walks, talks and other installations. We would like you
to get in touch if there is something you’d like to do on the island that
weekend, however big or small. From painting pebble to planting the seeds of
future projects.
We have a variety of rooms and spaces
available for organisations, groups, businesses and individuals to curate, and
are open to all proposals.
iLAND aims to present the best in
local resources, produce and talent. That the land and sea are our greatest
resource is recognised on Isle Martin by its inclusion in Wester Ross Marine
Protection Area, Wester Ross Geopark, Coigach and Assynt Living Landscape Partnership
and most recently in the UNESCO designated Man and the Biosphere program. We
would like to bring the community together to celebrate this through the
diversity and richness of the local culture. Whether your medium is music, art,
literature or skiffing!
This event is designed to bring
generations together, to work with and learn from one another, to record
history to learn from and plan for the future. We would love to see proposals
and inclusions from people working with whatever it is you work in. How would
you like to use your island? Art, Baking, Crafts, Dry stone dyking, Ecology,
Foraging, Guides, Holistic therapies, Installations, Jazz, Knitting,
Literature, Music…you get the idea. Come and join us to help create your island
of tomorrow.
