Wotta Regatta!

Belated news - the Woodbridge Regatta has returned.

There wasn’t a Woodbridge regatta in 2007 and the one in 2006 was preceded by miserable weather but the day itself, in August 2006 was lovely and warm, brining out the crowds.

The 2008 Woodbridge Regatta was held on 8th June. And again, the organisers must have been wondering if they’d picked a wrong date as again, most of the week preceding the regatta was rainy and miserable. Even Saturday the 7th was pretty grim but “they” (the weather men) had forecast fine weather for Sunday. And they were right. It was a gloriously warm, even hot day, bringing was seemed to be the biggest crowds I’d ever seen on Tidemill Quay, Ferry Quay and along the river walk to the Yacht Club.
