Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th September 2010
The annual Old Leigh Regatta is a charity event organised by the three Scout/Venture groups based in the Old Town, who benefit from your generous support. Also the additional special charity chosen this year to benefit from the event is the Alzheimer's Society.
Again, this year's Regatta promises to be a varied and entertaining programme of events. It starts at 12pm with live music from Street Life and 208 and continues through the afternoon with the normal public participation in the various food eating competitions and lots of side stalls to enjoy.
On Sunday at 10.30pm Leigh Salvation Army Band will be conducting a service on Victoria Wharf. The very popular Football on the Mud begins at 11am. This is for 5 a-side teams, so if you think your team would be interested, please contact Mike Rothwell -
mrothwell@hotmail.co.uk. The live music on Sunday will be provided by Diaz and Heart Beat.
There are also lots of water events over both days contested in the Scout Pentathlon.
Programmes (£1) listing all the times etc. are available during the weekend of the Regatta and are also for sale in the old town for weekends prior.
This years chosen charity is The Alzheimer's Society. Please support them and us by looking out for the raffle tickets on sale as well.
