Even with a little dreary weather (Tuesday and Sunday) the Regatta has got into full swing. Yesterday we watched the teddy bears being parachuted from the church tower to raise money for Regatta charities. The queue was increbible and a lot good will prevailed. Afterwards this was followed by a fancy dress procession and parade.
The town is heaving and for a newcomer like me its quite a contrast to our arrival in sleepy January. Here's the rest of the programme for the week. Park and Ride is running at Bonfire Hill. Please use this facility and avoid the congestion especially on the firework night.
