27 August 2017 21:29333185Celebrating its fifth year, the Port of Dover Community Regatta took place on Sunday 27 August 2017.
Stalls of all variety and kind filled the length of Marine Parade. There were community stands, fund raisers, children's rides, rowing and yacht races, and scores of vintage vehicles on display courtesy of Dover Transport Museum and elsewhere that gave everyone a great day out in warm bright sunshine. Demonstrations from Dover and Walmer Lifeboat crews conducting a close inshore 'rescue' drill and, to end it all, an acrobatic aircraft display over the harbour. A fun day for everyone to enjoy - well organised by the Port of Dover and conducted brilliantly by the many security personnel and marshalls who worked tirelessly to ensure the all ran smoothly. Thanks to them all.
Jan Higgins and Chris like this - 27 August 2017 22:54333189There "Where's Wally" girls was still on the go in the Bull this evening, collecting money for Delmeza House (Cessie Crascall being the leader of that).

If you weren't there, why on earth not?
Possibly the best free day out 'round these parts since since the days of The Shepway Airshow. - 28 August 2017 12:04333199Regatta was great. Should bring it back to the whole week-end as it was before.
Miss the Newfoundlands too.
