8/26/2009 Dartmouth Regatta 2009 will not be getting a penny of my cash !Has most who have been around live space for past year added or not to my contacts will know last years Dartmouth Regatta was a complete insult to Dartmouth, unless you of course wasn't a parent, then the best thing would of been getting legless down the The Royal Castle, getting tickets for the Picnic in the park or Regatta Rock and getting layed by those such fine people in British Forces Uniform, and then broadcasting it infront of children too young to know stood in the taxi rank!
If like me you are parent then the best thing was getting out of town in the next taxi back home! This years Regatta isn't going to be any better. Already there has been a change in the programme- The Battle of Britain Air Display is cancelled..and this is before the official opening tonight! Line up of Air Displays- Wednesday 26th August

What about the Typhoon display that was a complete disaster last year???--- We have the Typhoon but not in the air, instead it will be static in Coronation Park for you to go and maybe get to sit in...if you can get through Dartmouth Kids who also have that in mind. Or they have so many wanting to have their photos taken in the cockpit that they close it early...and go down The Royal Castle for that pnt or 6 early!
Times for Typhoon -
Thursday-Friday-Saturday 10AM-1630
Of course there is the usual Regatta Guardship, This year is HMS Tyne No mention of opento public so i guess after last years cahos they have decided to not bother this year!, Am sitting wondering what Bournemouth's line up for Air Displays are..?
Thankfully my cash will not be going into Dartmouth's pot instead i will be sat enjoying London, spending my cash on something the girls, mum and myself will remember for many many years to come, and of course MJ'S BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE, TRAF SQUARE, ON THE 29TH August.
CANNOT WAIT, STILL HAVE THE PACKING TO DO THOUGH!!! |
