Boat challenge goes ahead without other activities
This year's Putt Putt Regatta and Wooden Boat Festival has been postponed until next year.
However, the Heritage Challenge and Putt About will still go ahead on Saturday, October 29, as will the Putt Putt Charity Dinner on Friday, October 28.
The Heritage Challenge will see heritage ferries, "putt putts" and other heritage workboats navigate the Woy Woy channel at around 12:30pm on the Saturday.
The challenge starts and finishes at the Gosford Sailing Club.
It runs down past Koolewong, along the Woy Woy Channel and returns via Paddy's Channel, starting at 12 noon and returning about an hour later.
Once complete the boats will be on display at the Gosford Sailing Club.
The Davistown organising committee made the decision to postpone the main festival due to "the state of the Illoura Reserve and the probability of further rain makes the area unusable "
"Regrettably the Regatta Organising Committee has been left with no choice but to postpone this year's event.
"Subject to council approval, we are planning to run the event on Sunday, March 26, next year.
Anyone wishing to join the Heritage Challenge should contact puttputt.regatta@gmail.com for details.
