Following advice from Southend Borough Council and discussions with the Scout Groups of Old Leigh, who are our partners and main beneficiaries of the Old Leigh Regatta, we have decided that, regretfully, we cannot continue to plan this year’s Regatta.
Lion Tony Prior, Chairman of the OLR Committee, said
“We do not feel the current situation will improve sufficiently to allow such an event to go ahead safely.
We are very grateful to all the stallholders, concessions and performers, who were hoping to join us in September, and we hope to see everyone next year when the Old Leigh Regatta returns.”
