Therefore please collect you parking permit for your Boat trailer and Towing vehicle from Regatta Control – or the Team manning the gate on Shore Road when you unload your trailer. This also applies to those bringing round safety boats by road.

Swanage Regatta. Saturday, 25th June. Manning Safety Boat.

 

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 need to have three safety boats afloat - and these have traditionally been provided by Lymington, Christchurch and Poole Rowing Clubs - and they can all provide boats again but we need some help manning the Poole boat which will be driven round and taken back but it needs to be manned during the day. So we are looking for suitably qualified volunteers (RYA2) who can do a spell in the safety boat - and we may be able to work round any rowing commitments you have. Any help would be appreciated.
