Events Calendar
Last week in the write up on the Auckland Wooden Boat Festival, one of the few areas for improvement that we commented on was the publicity and marketing around the event. So this week we have decided to start an on going project of listing all the Events, Regattas, and Festivals in this broad part of the word with a vaguely traditional Maritime flavour.
Next week we will move the Calendar to a stand alone page on the SWS website and hopefully it will become a useful resource for those seeking a hit of wooden boat culture.
So if you have an event however big or small, that you feel needs a little promotion let us know the details and we will add it to the calendar.
