Swanage Regatta. Saturday, 25th June - Safety cover.

You will be aware that Swanage Regatta, due to take place Saturday week - 25th June - is an Association run event with most Hants & Dorset ARA Clubs making a contribution to its organisation and administration. 
Thanks to those contributing clubs and individuals most of the requirements to stage the regatta are in place - however we do still have one major safety related concern which we are struggling to resolve. We really need to have three safety boats afloat - and these have traditionally been provided by Lymington, Christchurch and Poole Rowing Clubs - but at the moment Poole are unable to help this year - which means we only have two boats available. So we are desperately trying to find a third boat and crew to act as a safety boat and to help keep the course clear of traffic.

If any club - or any individual club - is in a position to help out or knows of anyone who may be able to help please let us know. We have already approached a number of people & organisations locally but have had no luck so far.  Expenses will be met.
With our thanks in anticipations.

Steve Bull.
Association Secretary.
