Regatta

Once again the Regatta and Whitby Folk Week have coincided, but looking at the Regatta website we are pleased to see that common sense now prevails as there should be no further conflict for the next 5 years at least. We wish both events every success going forward.

This year's Regatta was what we have come to expect with the usual attractions, rides and Monday fair but it is a shame that it cannot revert more to what it was 40 years ago and be less of a commercial enterprise. We were sorry that the Monday was somewhat of a washout and unfortunately the Red Arrows were unable to make an appearance because of the weather, let's hope that next year the sun will shine for the three days. The Carousel pictured here was a new attraction which seemed to draw plenty of attention. Because of the weather we did not venture out on Regatta Monday until the evening when we went to Glaisdale, but more of that in the next blog.
