Sunday 3rd December, 2023 - 2pm - Village Hall, Noss Mayo
We love your photos and we’re after "Seven of Your Best" pictures taken from any of the events in the River Yealm Regatta 2023. Our esteemed judges decide on which photos best meet the criteria in the following categories: landscape, portrait, action, beer race and Spirit of Regatta. Then we have a public vote to decide the ‘People’s choice’ category live at the exhibition held at the Newton and Noss Village Hall – the tension in the room is electric!

About
The River Yealm Regatta takes place on the River Yealm between the two villages of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo. It is a traditional Regatta originating from rowing and sailing races between local and nearby fishermen whose crews and communities were fiercely competitive in seeking victory on the water. These days the enthusiasm to win is ever present but the breadth of activities has developed to include a full schedule of land-based events including tennis, cricket, running and the Regatta Dance.
Organised by volunteers, the River Yealm Regatta Committee, maintain the iconic Crabber boats and Regatta boats whilst also running a fair and safe programme of events.
