Loyal Careys Bay Winter Series
We know how keen you all are to get back out on the water but it's with huge reluctance that the second race of the Winter Series will not go ahead this Sunday. The requirements for social distancing and restrictions on numbers make it difficult to run this race in the true spirit of the Winter Series.
The next race is planned for Sunday 21st June.
I'm sure however that many of you will be out on the water anyway so stay safe and enjoy!
