This was a proposal I put to the International Committee and it is one of the Championships we are able to run because of the waters available to us. It is important to support teams that take part in our Championships, and I would like to see this event develop further in the future. We would also welcome as many spectators as possible to come along and support the teams taking part to make this a good event.”
