is regretfully cancelled
It is with a heavy heart that the EACC Committee have decided to cancel Thurne Mouth Open Regatta at the end of May 2021 due to the Covid restrictions and to keep everyone safe.
With no marquee, no bar, limited socialising, no camping etc, we felt that the event would just not be the same and lack its usual magic!
I do hope you can find some other way to enjoy yourself at the end of May and that you will, like all of us, look forward to TMOR 2022 when we promise a great party weekend with great racing for everyone.

It was with the greatest sadness that we received the news last week that broads legend, TMOR vice president, stalwart of the regatta and trustee of our club, Mollie Howes had died on 10th March 2021. All our thoughts are very much with her family. Her son Paul has sent us this obituary. Mollie on her 90th Birthday last year
CHARITY EACC's chosen charity for 2021 is NORFOLK SCHOOLS SAILING ASSOCIATION NSSA is a local charity run by volunteers and based on Filby Broad.
