Skibbereen Rowing Regatta Cancelled

9th April 2015
Skibbereen Rowing Regatta Cancelled

skibereenregatta – Skibbereen Regatta, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday at the National Rowing Centre in Cork, has been cancelled. The forecast of winds of up to 30 miles per hour during the middle part of the day left the organisers with no option but to inform the entrants that the event was off. The evenings of both days should be calm, but given the size of the event, there was no real prospect of rescheduling races. Skibbereen Rowing Club is hoping to find a new date.
