CALLING ALL rafters, there is still time to enter this year’s 43rd annual charity raft race from Lewes to the sea at Newhaven.

Organisers say some would-be rafters have been put off by the incident last year when fireworks were thrown by a few in the crowds, injuring two rafters. A spokesman said: “We have had this concern raised by a few crews this year. We have consulted with the police and safety authorities and as a result have taken a range of measures to protect rafters. This includes a complete ban on fireworks. We do not condone any missiles, although we appreciate it has been traditional to throw raw eggs. We will have extra stewards and anyone putting rafters at any risk is liable to be tackled and may be prosecuted. CCTV will be in operation. The vast majority simply want to enjoy the regatta in safety. If you would like to enter a raft, have crazy fun and a support the local charities, then get in touch and we can go through any concerns you may have. The theme is Rock the Boat. So far we have around 18 rafts, and most of them have done it before and loved it. We can manage a few more.” Police will also be supporting this huge community event, which is sponsored by Oakley Property for the second year running.

Responsible members of the public - keep your phones on camera function. Spot the scrotes with fireworks. Let's hope there aren't any.
