The Children's Fancy Dress Competition made a triumphant return to the Regatta programme, the rowing and swimming events were fiercely contested as usual and the crowd in the field picnicked and played.

Our usual photographer was inactive so we urgently need photos from the afternoon. If you have any, please email them to webmaster@portnavas.net. Thanks.

Lots of plants, lots of people and a lovely day. Organiser, Gillian Turnbull, with help from neighbours, particularly Darola Steel and Bernice & Roger Wickens, had rounded up a wonderful collection of plants. John Green came down from Calamansac by tractor with specimen roses and more. Sales were brisk and over £300 was raised for the village Hall. Darola guessed the number of peas in the jar at 690, very close to the actual total: 711.
