Booking systemA booking chart for the following year is circulated
during the previous summer, so that it is completed prior
to the owners' annual autumn meeting, where it is confirmed.

Initially, each owner may book 3 weeks (2 weeks high season, 1 week low season)
and, thereafter, the chart is re-circulated for owners to book a 4th week if wished.

There is a rota system which ensures that everyone moves up the list each year
(unless you are currently top of the list, in which case you then move to the
bottom for the following year). This ensures a fair choice of holiday dates for all.

The system is very democratic and we've found that it works well for everyone.
With only 11 owners, there is enough flexibility in the system for maintenance
not to affect anyone's weeks.

The fourth week is booked in reverse order of priority.
Priority for school holidaysOne and a half shares (6 weeks entitlement) have priority 
booking to allow them to book in school holiday periods 
for which they pay a 20% premium.

General comments by vendor

A word about running costs

The running costs for 2026 are higher than usual this year due to some unforseen extra expenditure.

My wife and I joined the Chisbury syndicate in mid 2023. We haven't always been able to make full use of our entitlement, due to other commitments, but have thoroughly enjoyed the times we did spend on board.

With only 11 shares there is time in the calendar for regular maintenance without impacting on any allocated weeks and funds for a new engine (when needed) have already been accumulated and ring-fenced. 

Swaps between syndicate members are possible and additional weeks of those who cannot take advantage of their onboard time are offered to other syndicate members.
