Kids Out On The Water
Rotary Kids Out on the Water 2023.
Rotary Kids Out on the water took 71 children from special need schools out on the water in Chichester Harbour in 25 private yachts on the 19th May.
The children came from 7 different schools in Hampshire and West Sussex from as far away as burgess Hill and Horsham. The boats departed from Hayling Island, Chichester Marina and Itchener to meet up for lunch at East Head.
The RNLI arrived on their boat at lunch to give a demonstration which was greatly appreciated by the children and boat owners alike.
The weather was perfect for the day with light winds an intermittent sun.
The event is now in its 40th year and is arranged by Havant Rotary, Heathfield, Chichester Priory and Chichester Harbour.
This is an event that gives enormous pleasure to many children who would not normally have the opportunity to get out on the water.
Thanks to our wonderful boat owners who gave up their free time to make this happen. It is a memorable day for all concerned.
