York 800 Flotilla sails back into view
The York Council has announced;
“City of York Council is delighted to announce today (24 July) that the York 800 flotilla, originally scheduled for Charter Weekend, will now take place on Sunday 26 August along the River Ouse in the city centre.
The flotilla was originally intended to take place on Sunday 8 July during Charter Weekend, but had to be postponed because of high river levels after prolonged heavy rainfall.
The rescheduled event will feature hundreds of boats of varying shapes and sizes from lunchtime onwards on the River Ouse, and people will be able to see it from any safe vantage point along the riverbanks between Naburn Marina and Clifton Ings. There will also be entertainment in Tower Gardens from 11 o’clock onwards.
More details of the programme for the day will be available nearer the time on www.york800.com“
