Ao Chalong Yacht Club invited to run
The Bay Regatta- Phuket, Phang Nga, Krabi in 2011
Greetings all past and future regatta participants,
For 13 years the Phang Nga Bay Regatta (renamed The Bay Regatta – Phuket, Phang Nga, Krabi this year to reflect its true nature) was run under the banner of my former company, Artasia Press. I was one of the founders, and have maintained control of and legal responsibility for the event since its inception. As the long-time participants know, in the early days the staff of my publishing company even handled most of the organization and work as well.
Things have changed. My publishing company was lost in a take-over, and since then the magazines that were largely responsible for floating the regatta by attracting sponsors have virtually disappeared under their new ownership. I am currently in the process of launching a new, interactive, web-based business, and no longer have the resources to back this event as before.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand, unfortunately, rejected our appeal for sponsorship. On top of this, the current economic hard times that now affects most businesses makes finding cash sponsors all the more difficult.
Thus, I was contemplating the unthinkable – canceling the event for 2011, while working towards a renewal in 2012 when, hopefully, more resources and sponsorship would be available. However, The Ao Chalong Yacht Club, always the sponsoring club behind the event, has agreed to step in and take over the organization for 2011. The event might have to be scaled back under their banner and in the difficult circumstances, however, they are determined to stage the best event they can.
Though the organizing team will be new, the same faces will likely be seen doing the on the-water organization. Please support their efforts to run this event in a difficult times.
Meantime, I will focus on 2012 and have every confidence I will be able to bring more resources and return to running the event, but with new ideas and energy.
Best Regards,
John Everingham
