2022 Annual Regatta

Post by MikeJames »

Good afternoon,

Many of you may have heard, but some may not, that the 2022 Annual Regatta, in Naracoorte in South Australia, was postponed by the Fleet Base Gulf waters rep Jim Warren, based on extremely unfavourable weather conditions this weekend.

This decision was taken based on the information available from the Bureau, and was taken with the safety of guests, members and their model in mind.

I have since been informed that there will now not be a 2022 Annual Regatta, at all.

I am very disappointed in this as we have previously postponed, but have not cancelled a regatta, at any time in in our almost 30 year history.

Mike

the forecast for tomora is 25 to 40km/h winds and 95% chance of rain with possibly thunderstorms, top temp of 21....Sunday is supposed to be top temp 16 and less windy. From all reports I think the people coming from NSW direction would have had to navigate around ongoing flooding and damaged roads...

Not sure on the reasoning for "cancelling" 2022 regatta as far as I was aware (up till last night) I thought we had just postponed it.

I would like to hear some reasons for not running it in April??
