Lifeboat Gala and Raft Race

Postby Coxy » Sun Feb 14, 2010 2:47 pm

Campbeltown Lifeboat Gala Day will be held on Saturday 26th of June. We are hoping to re establish the popular raft races which were stopped because of the sewage issue

If their are any groups or individuals who would like to enter a raft for a fun day get in touch with David Cox (554626) or e-mail weecoxy@tiscali.co.uk

Cheers :wink:

Coxy,

Great to read that the raft race will form part of the Gala Day again. Whilst the RNLI Gala Day is great it really has been enjoying the fun, excitement and community involvement of the raft race.

Will the race be in the inner harbour?

Hopefully you can raise the profile of the event using the forum and we certainly support everyones efforts to get this running again - well done.

So are there any contenders out there?

Are there any photos from the raft races in days gone by?

Sounds like fun. I am sure the CTA will manage a raft of some sort.

Plan is to have the races in the inner harbour and the stalls along Shore street as before, assuming we get all the permits we require.

Have some photos but they are hard copies, dont know if you can do anything with them, let me know.

If anyone wants a stall on the day let me know as well, hope to tie it in with the Food and Drink festival. :wink:

Please email me any information you have - info@pointsands.co.uk and I will see if we can get a team together from the park.

We would also be interested in taking a 'stall'.

Great. Thanks.
A Thank You and a Smile cost nothing but the gift is priceless.
