Regatta Committee

The Little Britain Challenge Cup is organised each year by a dedicated group of committee members from the industry who volunteer and give their time for free to help set up the regatta.

We are looking for new volunteers from the industry to join the committee and make the regattas happen. If you like the idea then contact anyone on the committee and find out more. Generally, the best people, like sailing, like doing stuff, like the industry, and like helping charities, and have the support of their businesses.

Here we would like to acknowledge and thank
those who led Little Britain Challenge Cup since 1988.

The Organising Committee.

We’d also like to acknowledge, thank and remember all those
who gave their time for free and helped bring
the many regattas to fruition so that thousands of us
in the property and construction industry would experience sailing
and help raise over £1.3 million for charitable causes.
