HOW QUICKLY THINGS CHANGE:
Hi All, Please read important - Stawell Yacht Club Regatta set for this weekend the 1st and 2nd February, has been postponed. Due to continued high temperatures forecast for this weekend and a CFA warning advice of active but controlled fires in the region.

The Regatta will now take place on the 22nd and 23rd March 2014.

Concerns with health and safety of competitors and voluteers were taken into account before this decision was made.

Another factor that has influenced this decision is that a number of local and visiting club members are landowners and voluteer in the CFA and other emergency services and maybe called upon at any given time.

The committee of the Stawell Yacht Club and Yachting Western Victoria apologise for any inconvience caused by this decision, that may have planned to attend from the region and Melbourne.

Personally - This decision has been made with the best interests in mind of everyone involved, and can fully understand the reasons in doing so. Although there is no threat of active fire in the area, there are concerns within the Grampians. So please support the Stawell Yacht Club in their decision, and if possible amend your sailing calenders for the 22nd and 23rd March 2014.
