This year, despite extensive lobbying by the 2300 Club, Caledonian MacBrayne have decided not to make any concessionary fares available and so the 2300 Club will NOT be issuing Ferry Booking Forms. They have promised to support the event in ways other than providing discounted ferry fares. It is recommended that you go ahead and secure a ferry booking via their website at http://www.calmac.co.uk/book-online.html or by telephone (08705 650000). Commercial vehicles (see below) should book with the Oban office (01631 566688).

On the 1st April (should have been a clue there!) we published the following on our website – it was of course a spoof! Lots of people spotted straight away that it was an"April Fool Joke", but many people (including some of the committee) were taken in by it! (you know who you are, so be embarrased). If you cancelled your accomodation and rebooked for November and will now loose your deposit – BAD LUCK! Actually, just go back and tell them "it was all just an April fool joke & surely they couldn't be so foolish to have been taken in by it?"….
STOP PRESS: 2009 Tour of Mull is now taking place on the 27/28/29th November. In celebration of the 40th Tour of Mull, the 2300 Club Committee have decided to put on a real spectacular in terms of the Rally Route. This is going to start with a special stage from Salen past Aros Bridge and up to the cattle grid, where the new road to Tobermory starts. On Saturday afternoon, we are now running the special stage in Tobermory, with a twist – two way traffic!
