The Event

Welcome to the new website for all you need to know about our Regatta this year. After last year’s last minute cancellation due to freak summer flooding, we are determined that this year’s event will build on our previous successes and be better than ever.

Over the next few pages you should be able to find out all you need to know about our event. Do come back and look again as updates will occur as details are finalised.

We look forward to seeing your club represented.
