Regatta 2010

7th August 2010:

The sun shone on the popular Port Navas Regatta as hundreds came to watch the rowing and swimming races, take part in the children’s games and try their luck on the fair stalls. ‘Due to a record number of helpers, this has been one of the easiest Regattas to organise,’ said Jeff Meadows, Chairman of the Regatta Committee. ‘It is fantastic that whilst people are having a great time we are able to raise money for many local charities.’

The prizes were awarded by Margaret Goad who with her husband Peter, runs the Port Navas Yacht Club. This will be their last year running the club as they plan to retire in March. ‘We shall miss them a great deal,’ said Jeff, ‘ they have been an important and hard working part of our community.’

The Ron Badger Annual Special Award – given to a person who has contributed above and beyond the call of duty to the success of the Regatta went to Sally Annan and Marian Saunders who have shared the organisation of the splendid food at the Regatta for many years.

The plans are already underway for next year’s Regatta on Saturday July 30th 2011 at 4pm.
