Littlehampton Regatta

Steve Stamper · 16 June 2004, 21:34

Firstly, a big hello to everyone on this forum.

L.H. is a seaside town, we're having the Annual bash, the Littlehampton Reggata and we'd like you to come.

Theres racing on both days. Two boozers on the river. Chippies and restaurants etc.
It'll be a good weekend, with not all of the action on the water, but you wont have to go far from your boat.

The official site is http://www.LittlehamptonRegatta.CO.UK

We've highlighted the racing events in
http://www.pontoontalk.co.uk/LittlehamptonReggata.htm
and
http://www.pontoontalk.co.uk/LittlehamptonReggata2.htm.

Graham an' me are wandering back round to L.H on the Saturday from the solent so if you're up for the run, please join us on the journey round.

Hi Steve

Welcome to the Forum.

Not bad 1 post and you have already scored some brownie points

I will be out that weekend for sure, perhaps another cruise to LA (Little Ampton) is warming up

We may well be in the water that weekend on one or both days. Not sure on timings yet, - will sort out when we are back from our Jollydays..

Really enjoyed our trip to Littlehampton a few weeks ago (cheers for organising it, Andre - hope Wiesia's face is better). Hopefully we'll be able to make the regatta. See you soon.

That doesn't sound very polite!

What Louise means is that she hopes that the little bump caused by that terrible driver has got better

Hi Andre

We are hoping to come round on the Saturday morning because of the very kind offer of company on the way from your intrepid hardboaters down there!!!!
And we are (hopefully still!!!!) going to help Phil Chitty and team with safety boating. Other than that we haven't huge plans so we're up for stuff!!!
We'll stay over as it's a special weekend for my hubby

We're planning to be out there on Sunday - undecided where to launch as yet, but will probably end up coming out of Chichester. Any Solenters heading east some time mid morning?

Janet

Phil Chitty · 29 June 2004, 09:29

Really looking forward to seeing you all again.

I will post more info on the safety boat thing tonight if anyone else would like to be involved.

I will be based at Littlehampton Marina all weekend when not at sea so pop by.
