All,

We are scheduled to run the Melmore Rally (Official) tomorrow Sat 8th at 9am.

Forecast is light and this should present another challenge…

Finish line is a transit between Bar rocks and Sessiagh Rocks. Please submit your time to the OD at the race end.

The Annual LSYC Regatta’s will commence tomorrow with the first race scheduled for 15:30hrs. It is important that we assemble at the start area (Spit / Salt Pans) for 15:30hrs.
