Old Leigh Regatta is almost upon us – a weekend of family fun on 12-13 September, held across Old Leigh and hosted by 3rd Chalkwell Bay, and we need your help to make it a fantastic weekend!
Old Leigh Regatta is Old Leigh at its most cheerful – a brilliant weekend of boats, races, games, live music, stalls, games and plenty of fun on the water. A proper community knees-up on the Thames Estuary, bringing locals, visitors and the Sea Scout groups together for a day of seaside entertainment.
We need your help!
It’s one of our biggest fundraising events of the year, and we need help from the 3rdCB family – especially Sea Scouts, Explorers, family members and supporters over the weekend to run stalls & games, help set up, and take part in the competitions on and off the water. If you can help out please sign up for a few slots through the link below:
We need help on both days from about 9am till 5pm (Regatta opens 11am, stalls finish about 5pm, but the music carries on into Saturday evening until around 9pm). Roles we need help with include:
