RACE CANCELLED

MUMBLES League Race Sunday 10th May is CANCELLED

We have watched the weather forecast all week and at this time, NE winds are still predicted to be 25mph on Sunday morning. Unfortunately, we do not feel that this will be safe enough for rowing.

This has been a very difficult call but in the interests of safety, cancellation is the best option. Apologies for any disappointment but safety is paramount.

We will arrange refunds to those who have already paid online.
