...it's the sound of sunshine coming down, as Michael Franti says in this rather excellent summer song
The song has no relevance to Paignton Regatta, by the way. We just like it.
So don't worry about the weather. We'll have a good time whatever happens. Maybe this should be the anthem of Paignton Regatta 2011!
One of the events that has really taken off in the last couple of years is the Round-the-Pier Swim, which this year takes place on Saturday August 13 from 6pm.
It's a tough test, but plenty of people are ready to have a go, and we welcome all-comers, the fast, the slow and the doggy-paddlers.
If you want to have a crack at it, pop round to the harbour, find Harbour Sports (it's next to the rowing club) and ask Frank, who is a very nice man, to let you have an entry form.
Also on the evening of Saturday August 13 there is a quadruple bill of live music on the Green. We start with regatta regular Lesley Presley doing Elvis as only he can, followed by the rock sound of The Accused. Feisty four-piece Fire For Effect - Paignton lads all of them - are up next, while the night's headliners are popular local rock combo The Humanitarians.
See you there!
