Blyth Regatta:

the plan for next Sunday is to launch from South Harbour Beach (Blyth) from 10am and make our way to the Skiff Waiting Area, this will be near the Boathouse Restaurant either the new slipway or spaces which may be available on pontoons. The race course will be laid out to accommodate the various races over the weekend and is dictated by Race Control but should be similar to that illustrated below and include a turn at the North. If There are more than 6-8 skiffs racing, then there will be 2 or more heats and a final, lots to be drawn for each heat. Racing starting at 11. After the racing there will be a prize giving and then we can enjoy a more sedate rowing activity which will include a fishing contest, for those that wish to, with an associated, customary BBQ on the beach to round the day off. Hopefully the weather and sea state will be in our favour and great fun will be had by all!
